All of your ethical advice regarding the paper-boy tipping debacle is appreciated. I'm surprised, however, that none of you chastised for mailing a pizza coupon as a Christmas tip. Travis thought this such a horrible slight that if he were the recipient, he would urinate on our paper from now on. I, however, am of the Mr. Pink school of thought that tipping should be done away with. Maybe I'll write a lengthy diatribe about it someday, perhaps entitled "An Economic Analysis of Tipping," but not today. But any job where tipping is not so customary as to be obligatory (e.g. waiter) I just prefer to free ride off the generosity of others.
