People getting robbed tend to prefer losing their wallet to getting shot. Doesn't mean those are the options they'd prefer to choose between.

- Kalium 12y agoIf asked, people tend to prefer getting everything for free on a silver platter. That doesn't mean it's workable, even assuming we could come up with enough silver to get everyone their own platter.
- logfromblammo 12y agoI'll take my free stuff on a machine-stamped tray of 316 steel. I don't need anything fancy, just so long as it's piled high with the fulfillment of my every desire, provided completely gratis. Now that you mention it, I think I would like a silver platter. Just put it on the steel one. Actually, make it two, so I can still use one while the other is being polished. And have a silver polisher bring the next tray. And make sure she has read Dune, and has a D.V.M. with a specialty in herpetology. What's that? My choices are actually between a gaping stab wound and a turd sandwich? I'll take the sandwich, I guess....
