Abe was well known for his meanness and his 'eye for a bargain'. One day he was looking for a cheap wedding present for his niece, so he went into a gift shop in Golders Green. As he was walking around, he noticed what was previously an expensive glass crystal vase lying in the corner. It was in 3 pieces. After some haggling with the owner, Abe bought the broken vase for $1. He then filled in the congratulations card, wrote out his niece's name and address and gave the owner a further $10 so that the broken vase could be gift wrapped and posted. Abe then left the shop feeling quite pleased with himself. He expected his niece to think the vase had broken in the mail.
A few days later, he rang his niece to see if the present had arrived.
"Yes, Uncle Abe, but unfortunately, it was in 3 pieces when it was delivered."
"What terrible luck." said Abe, "The Royal mail is getting worse all the time."
"It's a shame," she replied. "It was so beautifully wrapped. Each piece separately."
