FREE, INDEED!
The warranty on a new color TV set had no sooner run out than the set started causing trouble. The lady of the house called the company and they sent a man to fix it. When he found that the warranty had expired he tried to talk her into signing a contract for repair insurance. The woman was told that, if she signed it, there would be no charge for the present call. The lady, however, didn’t want to commit herself yet: she hadn’t studied the plan and its cost closely enough. She said she wanted to think it over. The repairman sighed with resignation and said, “Well, madam, if you want free service, don’t forget, you have to pay for it.” Bits & Pieces, Vol. F
