MESSAGE #186 - THERE AIN’T NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH

A couple in New York City received, in the mail, two tickets to the biggest hit on Broadway, a show for which tickets had been sold out for three months.

Whoever had sent the tickets had forgotten to include a note with the donor’s name.

The tickets were for the following night.

The couple went to the show, which they enjoyed greatly.

When they returned to their apartment, their bedroom was turned upside down.

The women’s fur and jewels were gone.

The man’s fine cufflinks were gone.

And on the pillow was the note: “Now you know.”
