New heights of tightness

So, you have this crappy old DVD that you don't watch any more. It's not worth much because the film isn't all that good. So what do you do? Do you throw it away? Do you offer it up to your mates?

Someone I know, famous for his money-grabbing antics, has decided to sell this DVD on eBay. Buy it for 50p!

Postage is £2.75 because he sends it recorded delivery "to stop any disputes about whether the item has been delivered or not". Recorded delivery, and disputes over an item that costs 50p.

This is from a guy that once walked from one shoe shop to another - 2 miles away - because the shoes he wanted were £1 cheaper there. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the tightest man in the world.

Do you know anyone more scrooge-worthy?

I once had to use a burning $1 bill to light my cigar because I was out of $10s and $20s! Then I got in my Cadillac convertible with longhorns on the hood and drove around looking at my oilwells. Do I count?

I spent 6000,- Norwegian kroners on clothes in four weeks.

Well I know nobody very scrooge-like, but I know a person that is so skinny he only has one stripe on his pyjamas!

my pyjamas are made entirely of grapes.

I also have a car shaped like a croissant and nine hamsters with lazerguns.

They call me Zorg.

Jean-Baptiste, Emmanuel, Zorg.

Hmm, a darn good point, I might have 3 quid knocking about somewhere.

So when you squeeze your pajamas, do they wine?


My garage is shaped like a large frenchman's mouth and I have a hamster house made of lazer proof plastic shaped like Richard Gere's butt.

They call me Jeff.

Just Jeff.

The DVD is mission impossible 2.

The one-stripe skinny guy is awesome. Does he still want to be a pilot?

I like grapes.
