After being away on business， Tim thought it would be nice to bring his wife a little gift.
“How about some perfume？” he asked the cosmetics clerk. She showed him a $50.00 bottle.
“That’s a bit much，” said Tim. So she returned with a smaller bottle for $30.00.
“That’s still quite a bit，” Tim complained.
Growing annoyed， the clerk brought out a tiny $15.00 bottle.
“What I mean，” said Tim， “is that I’d like to see something really cheap.”
Then the clerk handed him a mirror.
