[rec.humor.funny] You can tell a lot about a man by the tip he leaves

I am reminded...

A New Hampshireman stops by a cafe for breakfast.  After paying the tab, he
checks his pockets and leaves his tip -- three pennies.  As he strides 
toward the door, his waitress muses, only half to herself: "You know, you
can tell a lot about a man by the tip he leaves."  Man turns around, 
curiosity getting the better of him.  "Oh, really?  Tell me, what does 
my tip say?"  

"Well, this penny tells me you're a thrifty man."  Barely able to conceal
his pride, the man utters "Hmm, true enough."

"And this penny, it tells me you're a bachelor."  Surprised at her 
perception, he says, "Well, that's true, too."

"And the third penny tells me that your father was one, too."
