10 types of tightwads

 
The 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.
