I call excuses of a unadmitted tightwad.

As a recovering tightwad, I know one when I see one. If nobody is making you part with your money, but there is a clear suggestion that the world (or at least your psyche) would be a better place if you did, then you have to find some other justification not to cough up.

When you've been here a while and posted over a thousand times, isn't not tipping a bit like not paying your dentist bill? Except that the dentist would sue your ass where as here only your conscience comes after you. It may not have been roses all the way, but there's clearly something you get out of it or you wouldn't keep coming back. Dentists stop your teeth falling out. The cellar stops your _ _ _ _ _* falling out.

There should be a 12-step program for tightwads. Oh wait, isn't that Scientology?

But you know, you can lead a horse to water...... It's like cheating on your homework -the only person your really cheating is yourself.

fingernails? That's it -and provable too -how could they fall out if your hands are firmly glued thto the keyboard and mouse.

The cellar: Stops your fingernails falling out. UT, you'll get rich for sure will this one, I can feel it in my prolapse....
