I used to work with a guy who was notoriously cheap and never had money. We were
on the road everyday and this guy would frequently not have enough for his meal.
He met me for lunch one day in a restaurant that had an incredibly cheap luncheon
special, $3.75 for soup, toasted western fries and coffee. That wasn't good
enough for him. He ordered fish and chips with extra fish, a large soft drink and
a chocolate sundae for dessert, coming to close to $10. When the bill comes, he
doesn't have money, so I got stuck paying for it.

We were on expense accounts, and of course he put in for the meal that I had paid
for. The next week after the expense checks came in I asked for the $10. He didn't
have a chance to cash his check but said he would have it the next day. I never
got my money back.

After that I avoided him at meal times and was always too busy to go for lunch
with him. When the day came that I finally could not avoid it he tried the same
stunt again. Luckily, I had removed the bills from my wallet ahead of time. Gee,
I barely had enough for my own.

The same guy ran the office lottery pool. He often seemed too busy to provide a
photocopy of the ticket numbers until after the draw. We never won anything, but
his wife did. We all thought it odd that the cheap guy who never had any money
would go out and buy tickets on his own. That was the end of our lottery pool.
