Reminds me of all the charitable appeal letters I get every week bearing the words “Free Gift Inside”. Why do they say Free? I thought gifts were intended to be free.
On a similar topic, why are restaurant patrons referred to as “Guests”? Guests shouldn’t have to pay, should they?
Back in the 1950s one of my college buddies bought a used black hearse/ambulance vehicle which was a great place to change in when we went SCUBA diving. It had a flip over sign on the dashboard with “AMBULANCE” on one side and “FUNERAL COACH” on the other, plus ambulance lights and a siren. Toll collectors usually waved (waived) us through free. Once we took a rubber glove and slammed the rear door on it so the finger and half the palm were hanging down. Thanks for the mammaries.
There was a young rower from BrightonWho said to his girl, “You’re a tight one.” She said, “pon my soul, You’re in the wrong hole.But there’s plenty of room in the right one.”

My take was that they don’t have to go to the movie theaters or live shows anymore, because they can see everything they want on their giant flat screen, and they wouldn’t toss tomatoes at their TV the way they might at those other venues.
