Penniless babe

I requested identification from a department-store customer who had just written a personal check for her purchase.
After fumbling through her purse, she presented me with what she said was the only thing that bore both her name and address.
It was a notice of insufficient funds from her bank.

Ego (ibo for money)

My husband, an attorney, is frequently consulted by clients who,
after learning what the cost of legal services will be,
decide to do without his aid.
Recently the elderly minister of a small,
struggling church came in with a legal problem.

After patiently listening to an explanation of my husband's fees,
he left the office with a prudent:
"Thank you, sir, but I believe I'll just pray this one through."
