Not a tramp, just a little Jewish.
We all love a freebie don’t we? It’s basis human nature. No matter how financially secure we may or may not be, that one little four letter word manages to bring out our inner Jew each and every time. F-R-E-E. Half the time I actually have no desire for the freebie on offer; but this doesn’t stop me taking time out of my day to claim what feels like is rightfully mine. Just last week I spent 15 minutes filling out a questionnaire in the train station for a free coffee; do I even like coffee? No. But this didn’t stop me taking time out of my day to receive a free cup of the stuff. And you know, even though I ended up throwing away said cup after spilling it down myself as I ran for the train I ended up missing due to taking the time to fill out the questionnaire, I don’t regret it in the slightest! So obviously upon walking home this evening and spotting a 42” TV on the side of the road with a sign reading “FREE T.V” plastered across the front I couldn’t help but act upon it. Obviously the reality that this TV has been out in the rain and cold for a substantial amount of time and most probably doesn’t work didn’t cross my mind; and before I could even think about It I was dragging it down the half a mile road home with my housemate and two strangers who soon regretted offering their assistance. Now I have a weak spine at the best of times, and although the slightest heavy lifting can throw it off for days, this didn’t cross my mind either. As you know, IT WAS FREE. Do I even need a television this big? No, not really. Do I even need an extra television in general? Not really again. But you know, with it being free how can you say no! Obviously the television didn’t work upon plugging it in and I’m now stuck with a larger than life piece of faulty equipment, but does this lesson my enthusiasm any? Not at all! The moral of this story isn’t nothing comes for free, and if it does it probably isn’t worth it. That’s stupid. Lots of things come for free. Like this great piece of life advice you’re about to read. The moral is; whether you need it or not, take full advantage of everything you see with the word FREE scribbled across it! My TV may not work, but yours may!
