108. No Free Lunch
    Hoping to get free contact lenses, Freddy goes to the optician.
    F: Could you help me check my eyes. Please?
    O: Sure. Please have a seat and put on these glasses. Now, tell me. Which letters seem clearer?
    F: The ones on the right.
    O: Ok. Can you read these price tags?
    F: Yes. They're as clear as daylight.
    O: Fine. Read out the highest amount.
    F: US$100.
    O: Right. That's what it'll cost you.
    F: But I thought the contact lenses are free.
    O: Yes. But you'll have to pay for our service.
    F: No wonder they say, "there's no such thing as a free lunch."
