A poem.

For those who are cheap.

If you are cheap,

You buy a 60 minute/month cell phone plan.

If you are cheap,

You buy used books for one cent a piece.

If you are cheap,

You use public restrooms everytime.

If you are cheap,

You refill your ketchup bottle at McDonald’s.

If you are cheap,

You watch public TV that doesn’t even require an antenae, just a power plug.

If you are cheap,

Do not take offense, you just save money better than everyone else :)

    It’s been a while since I pocketed condiments at restaurants; but I do remember those days. I got a good chuckle out of this one.
