Pennywise, Pound Foolish

Sometimes being cheap will cost you big in the end. Especially when you are being cheap over a £4 ketchup stain. An attorney in the UK that makes around £364,000 per year harassed a secretary to pay for the dry cleaning. How she spilled the ketchup on his pants is unknown but what is know is that she paid the bill in full herself and this has become an Internet phenomenon. The lawyer named Richard Phillips whose expertise in IT and media should have known how viral a ridiculous exchange about a dry cleaning bill could get once it got on the net. Hopefully those of us writing about the incident won’t get sued. Here is the story from the Times Online.
