“Mr. Thrifty” Bank

Perhaps you have dated him, been engaged to him...or even married him. :)

Why, of course your guy would prefer staying home with you so he can “have you all to himself,” rather than take you to that swanky new French restaurant, where he’d have to share you with everyone.  Sure, he thinks you look sexier in those Fruit-of-the-Loom cotton briefs than in that European silk lingerie.  Naturally he finds camping so much cozier and more romantic than that chic little hotel in Manhattan.   Ladies, I give you “Mr. Thrifty!”  Mr. Thrifty can hold enough coins for the parking meter…but you’d best not get rid of that credit card of yours quite yet. *

Details: 4″ x 5.75″, painted metal bank – circa 1960′s!

Why Sandi LOVES this: The eyes are painted to look like coins!  Plus, I’m pretty sure he took me to dinner at an Applebee’s once.

*Note:  This story of  “provenance” is purely fictional and a product of my vividly creative imagination.   If it bears any resemblance to actual people or events in your life, you should be thankful to be leading such an exciting existence!
