there's no such thing as a free lunch

It's 6:16 PM. It's 106º. It's so hot, in fact, that I'm going insane. Let me outline the evidence for you.

1) Today is Chick-Fil-A's annual "cow appreciation day."

a) If you dress like a cow, they give you free a free meal.
b) Another way of saying this is that they give you a free meal if dress like a jackass.

2) I have a long history of refusing to be a jackass (or a cow).

a) For example, I refused to do this last year, even when Sarah went without me.

3) Today, I did not refuse.

They say the food is free, but that's not true. There's a social cost. Oh, also, a little part of your soul dies.
