Free

First, this is a tongue-in-cheek post.

People say there is no such thing as a free lunch. Everything has a price to pay. I disagree with that. There are a few things I/we can get for free.

Free cold and cough.

Free x-ray from the airport security agents.

Free advice from a lot of people.

Free lice available at most schools. Hey, it’s a pet, right?

Free emails known as spam.

Free sunshine.

Free portrait when you get booked after an arrest (mug shot).

Free smiles.

Free divorce just for asking.

Free concussion trying to break a fight.

Free Headache.

Free room and board. Thanks mom and dad.

Free room and board in the jail. Thanks Government.

Do you know anything else that comes free?

  1. The free advise is seldom free. It is always told in a way that entices the listener to act in someway beneficial to the advisor.

    Whenever I need a suggestion/advise, I take it from a few people and do the exact opposite of what has been told to me by the majority of them. It works. Try it :)

  12. Thanks for your comments Chitra. I should have explianed this when I replied to Renu's comment. So here it goes.

    In California, a couple can get a divorce without going through a lawyer. If the divorce is with mutual consent, they can fill a few prescribed forms, sign them, and give them to the judge. The judge will grant the divorce. No need to spend huge amounts of dollars to the lawyers. That is what I meant by free divorce.

  14. The best free things in your post are sunshine and smiles.

    This reminds me of a song by Janet Jackson "The best things in life are free"

    Lice, rats in kitchen, lizards on wall and mosquitoes...all free pets!
