Default Creative ways to get something for nothing.

Scotty,

The Earth rotates one revolution a day, making the Sun appear to be
moving across the sky (360 degrees divided by 24 equals = 15 degrees a
hour) 15 degrees equals a closed fist three at arms length.

So now tell me how you time a three minute egg by the Sun?

Take it out and wear it. Show it to your friends and family. Get a kick
out their lining up to inherit it. In private, promise it to one and then
later, another, ... until all have been promised the watch.

Please stop repeating that old fart's posts. I like it better when I
don't see them and for some reason (I don't have the beached lubber
killfilled or filtered), I don't - maybe it's his inferior webTV that
doesn't propagate like it should or maybe it's his ignorant use of html
that the newsserver ****cans - but, at any rate, the dude's got nothing
worthwhile to say anywho since he sold his pretend sailboat/ugly
pilothouse Gulf motorboat a couple years ago because he never was able
to figure out how to put the sails up but one time and then it went
backwards it was so slow. Then when he rolled off his boat onto the dock
they put out a beached whale notice and all the conservationists came
a-running to the rescue. Remember Humphry the Humpback whale that got
lost up the river a couple years ago. Well, now there's the legend of
Thom the Blubber whale out there in Washington.

Cappy, I expect better of you, the scheme you discribe is not
"arbitrage", do break out a dictionary and look the word up.

He's taking advantage of the price difference between honestly paying for it
and dishonestly paying less than he should.

I realize than Jon, however arbitrage is buying something in one marker
and selling it in another for profit, (well, hopefully for profit),
usually refers to currency transactions, but could be commodities.

I believe the word for Cappy's scheme is "fraud".

Very good Cappy, you however used the term "arbitrage", not "price
arbitrage", if you are going to use a term outside of its' normal
context please include the modifier in the future.

Cheers

Yeah, I think "fraud" is pretty accurate in general for Neal.
