No Free Lunch

I met up with a friend earlier today, a friend who bought a house a month or two ago that needs a ton of renovations. I told him that since Harper had volunteered me to contribute $50* towards my friend's renovations, the least he could do was buy me lunch. Sadly, this gambit did not work. Perhaps I can trade my $50 for credit towards help with his renovations (e.g. get out of painting duty...)
