Who said "There's no such thing as a free lunch?"

[MissMillie]

There it is.... a whole table-ful of food left over from some meeting or another. Make-your-own sandwich stuff (there's no turkey left, but the roast beef looks beautiful), potato salad, asian slaw, pickles, minestrone soup, cookies, brownies, beverages.

If you get to it before catering comes to clean it up, then you just got a free lunch.

1. stay away from the potato salad

if its been out just long enough the true meaning of the expression will hit you like a on of bricks.
