Also cited on Wikipedia: There ain't no such thing as a free lunch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"...The earliest known occurrence of the full phrase, in the form "There ain’t no such thing as free lunch", appears as the punchline of a joke related in an article in the El Paso Herald-Post of June 27, 1938, entitled "Economics in Eight Words". ..."

The original references to free lunch were related to bars and taverns that had free food if drinks were purchased, which were apparently very common from the 1840's through the earliest 1930's.

For what it is worth...

In one of the Clint Eastwood movies he rides onto town and there is a snake oil man selling bottles of elixir off the back of a wagon. When he tells Clint it will cure or clean anything known to man, Eastwood spits tobacco juice on the guy's suit and asks him

"How's it on stains?'

Great line.

Great line.

That was in the movie "The Outlay Josey Whales". One of my all time favorite movies. My favorite line in that movie is when the bounty hunter tells Josey Whales "a man's gotta make a living" and Josey replies "Dying ain't much of a living"

Another good one from that great movie is...

Young Gun "shouldn't we bury them"
Josie "Why? Buzzards gotta eat too..."

Classic...

A truly great movie...with many quotable lines...but IMO Chief Dan George had some of the better ones...

That was a great line but the lines afterwards equally good. The bounty hunter comes back in the door and laments something to the effect of "I had to come back" and Josie says "I know". Great delivery by Eastwood and rounds out the earlier quote.
