What ever happened to the saying, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" It seems that this guy was trying to buy the entire farm!

"Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"

We should popularize it again, not to encourage behavior like that but to make a societal point. Didn't that line originate in Russia?

Thanks for bringing it up. ...keywords! Or do you happen to have a copy of the column, book or excerpt that it appeared in?
