Didn't say so. And he had a way with words, so why this circumspect sentence and clumsy abbr, TNFL would be much easier. I wonder why. Being paid by word count?

I think it was a cynical way of looking at things, implying that you always pay, this way or another. Now being old enough, if not wise yet, I think I'd still accept a free lunch (did, many times) whenever given without foreseeable strings attached. Simply to balance things out - the number of things my wife and I have done that we later heard we could have charged, well, we didn't count so it's an unknown number :). I just guess the universe is balanced, in our case.
