I am reminded…

A New Hampshireman stops by a cafe for breakfast. After paying the tab, he
checks his pockets and leaves his tip–three pennies. As he strides
toward the door, his waitress muses, only half to herself: You know, you
can tell a lot about a man by the tip he leaves.

The man turns around,
curiosity getting the better of him. Oh, really? Tell me, what does
my tip say?

Well, this penny tells me youre a thrifty man. Barely able to conceal
his pride, the man utters Hmm, true enough.

And this penny, it tells me youre a bachelor. Surprised at her
perception, he says, Well, thats true, too.

And the third penny tells me that your father was one, too.
