Free…or is it?

Posted on Friday, June 19, 2009 in Uncategorized

So I am walking to work the other day, when I pass a homeless person. He was handing out free newspapers in hopes someone would pay him for it. I started to think, “man, what a silly idea, why would someone give him money for something that is free, what a horrible idea!” But, after a few more steps it started to dawn on me. What if, like 30 years ago, bums used to try to sell bottles of water to passers by. I bet some of those people said, “man, what a dumb idea, I can get water for free, why would I want to pay for it!” Fast forward 30 years, and now the bottled water industry takes in billions of dollars a year!

So maybe this bum had the right idea. What if, 30 years from now free newspapers account for billions of dollars in revenue, there is no way I should pass this up!! But I already have my competition…..that bum. So if I want to make this work, I need to wake up earlier then him and nab every free paper in Boston. That bum is going down!!!!!!!!!
