I’d like to order some free.
I’m sorry, but there is no more free.
How can that be that there is no free?
There is no free because of the fee?
What fee?
The fee for free.
What do you mean the fee for free?
Someone has to pay for all that free.
But it’s free!
Not for me.
You mean you had to pay for all that free?
Yes siree, we had to pay all that free.
I just don’t see.
That’s the problem. There is no such thing as free.
Since I did not pay for it, I always thought it was free.
Did you think all that free grew on a tree?
Maybe.
I paid for all that free to serve thee.
All that for me? I did not know. Gee.
Yeah, gee. We got to the point where we couldn’t afford any more free.
But I want that free. I need that free.
Will you help us pay for that load of free?
You mean help you shoulder the load for part of the fee?
Yes, because there is no such thing as a fee-free load of free.
I don’t know. I think I prefer the free load, you see.
I see. You’re a free loader. You want the load for free.
Absolutely.
I’m sorry. There is no more free.
