Nice Try

I love these help wanted ads that I see on Mandy.com and other places that say things like "We can't pay you anything, but we have a ping pong table at the office!"  Something tells me that if they ain't gonna pay me, they ain't gonna let me play ping pong. It kind of reminds me of the time I was suckered into helping my friend paint his apartment, after telling me that although he wouldn't be able to pay me, there would be tons of beer and pizza, and that "it would be more of a party than anything.. an apartment painting party!"  When the day finally arrived, I was the only one at the "Apartment painting party", and then I found out I had to paint first, then I could have my pizza. My friend was no longer smiling either. Some party.
