A Gift for His Wife

After being away on business for a week before Christmas, Tom 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 bottle costing $50.

- That's a bit much - said Tom, so she returned with a smaller bottle for $30.

- Thats still quite a bit - Tom groused.

Growing disgusted, the clerk brought out a tiny $15 bottle.

Tom grew agitated, "What I mean," he said, "is I'd like to see something real cheap."

So the clerk handed him a mirror.
