Ah, cheapskates. We've all known a few and probably dated
plenty in our day. In fact, odds are that we're related (or married) to one

Wimpy
You
remember J. Wellington Wimpy, Popeye's rotund, homburg-wearing
buddy, and his classic line: "I would gladly pay you
Tuesday for a hamburger today." Come on, you know a Wimpy,
don't you? Chances are you've been friends with one for so
long that you've given up any hope that they'll ever reimburse
you for that double latte or stadium dog. After all, what's
a pal going to do, say no? Just remember, there's a good reason
why Wimpy's wearing the nice business suit and Popeye is in
his shirtsleeves.
