a card-carrying Conservative...

I survived.

We did fight over the check, but I let him win. After all, according to
Conservatives, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

But mine was.

At least to me.

That's odd - when I lunch or fish with my card carrying lefty commie
long haired pinko friends, they always pay - something about being
obligated to them for a free lunch. :)

The most expensive "free lunch" I've ever had was when I picked up my
P.Eng Certificate. After the "free dinner", we had to sit in uncomfortable
chairs for 2 hrs listening to lawyers explaining our liability insurance
options to us.

My most expensive 'free breakfast' happened when I took one of the 'time
share' look sees in Orlando, Florida in '93.
The rest of the morning our saleman worked us trying to sell a week in the
development. Sure was glad to get out of there.

Heh....

I *just* did that while on my fall road trip to Fla to pick up some
outboards and rebuild one on the fly.

We had 2 days free to go to Disney. So we did the timeshare thing to get a
couple of cheap two day Parkhoppers. We got the free breakfast too.

At the end of the tour I multiplied the price of one week x 52 and got the
"actual" price they were selling each condo for. It was like 1.5 million
per condo! And since they did their own financing they netted more like 3
million per unit via "total of payments".

Their "closer" didn't stay too long at all with me......... evil grin We
were in Disney by 10am. Kinda hectic doing all 4 parks in 2 days. Did Magic
Kingdom and Epcott on Day one. Day two we did the Animal Kingdom and Disney
MGM studios. We hit all the good stuff though.

Heh, Heh...
Back in the '70's when I was 17, I got a personal invitation
in the mail to a time share scheme in Ocean Shores, WA. My
friend and I drove down there from Seattle, enjoyed the free
breakfast and bussed tour. When the salesman sat down to
talk to us, I calmly explained I was only 17, and didn't
have any money. *Boy* was he mad

That's the way things usually work...conservatives paying for liberals. Not
to worry, though, 'cause he's used to it by now.
