Subject: Mrs JimJr at Large

The doorman at a hotel where we were saying told Mrs JimJr that I always tipped more than she did.

Without a pause, she said, "That's because he has a wife who is thrifty and saves money. I haven't."

Mrs JimJr and I once visited the Tower of London. She still talks about the affable Briton who approached us with the remark: "You're Americans, aren't you ? I thought so from your accent."

After he was out of earshot, she fumed, "The nerve of that guy, HE was the one with the accent !"

Again, while in London, we were walking along when the music of some wonderful chimes from a near-by Cathedral were playing. I said, "Aren't those chimes beautiful ?" Receiving no answer, I asked again.

Mrs JimJr said, "I can't hear you. Those pesky bells are making way too much noise."

Once on a cruise I was truly honored to be asked to sit at the Captain's table the first nite out.

The ever practical Mrs JimJr was insulted however. She said, "What ??? As much money as all this is costing us and we have to eat dinner with the crew ?"

At Hilton Head Island, Mrs JimJr and I made friends with another couple after a few sets of tennis. The woman suggested dinner and Mrs JimJr named a restaurant. The lady said that they had already dined there and if we wouldn't mind, could we eat somewhere else.

Mrs JimJr replied, "Of course. I understand completely, I don't like to leave large tips either."
