Rather than have this moved: Your daily joke thread! which read: When people paid to wait on you hang up in your ear I feel like saying, when you do it for free, you can do that. But you know that's not true. People who work for charities work for free. And they never hang up in your ear. Did you ever notice that? I'll start it as a new thread.

Although that is what they call an oxymoron: "hire" and "free".
