2. Hi there, my dear KitchenWitch...

Free? And must be good? NOPE...there are always hidden costs! ALWAYS! Everything has it's price, my dear...money, time, effort, something...

Sorry to sound so cynical...but I believe this to be true...

3. I know

I was just quoting a line from an informercial I heard...It was among the stupidest sentences ever uttered! :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Whew...I'm glad you don't believe it...

Some intelligent people do...I'm so glad you don't! Some people can't think straight either! You don't fall into any of those camps, my dear!

:loveya:

4. if something's free... and if one is in debt...

6. That commercial always cracks me up

The way that woman delivers her line is great. She adds the perfect amount of "yeah, right" in her tone. I've never quite followed the logic of the idea. The Monty Python haggling response seems more likely: it's free what's wrong with it, then? Don't you want to haggle? I assume one of the writers of that commercial recognized that they would be struggling against that public response, so they introduced this ham-handed effort to subvert it.

Khash, some Heinlein's Child dude.

19. If it's "free" there must be a catch

You're going to be signed up for their program (yes you can cancel at any time, but they will badger you when you try), they're going to hound you to buy their expensive version of your free sample, you will get frequent SPAM from their many "associates", etc. :eyes:
