Having likely dispensed the advice for years to their children and grandchildren, a group of senior citizens learned firsthand that there is no such thing as a free lunch. The SEC is accusing New York-based Prime Capital Services of luring in the silver hair set with offers of free lunches and then selling them "highly unsuitable variable annuities" on their way out the door. Prime Capital's brokers are under scrutiny for enticing seniors to buy annuities that charged early redemption fees for the years beyond their life expectancy while chowing down on free $5 foot longs. If recent history is any guide, those brokers better start running.

@3- exactly.
I love these guys, my employer's been downsizing since last year, every time new layoffs/buyouts are announced our whole building gets a free lunch. Or an invitation to a "presentation" at a nice restaurant. It may not be a free lunch/dinner but it sure as hell has never been my money that paid for those meals.
These guys are hilarious, I love them. It's nice to know that somebody has a job that sucks worse than mine.
