You know Sky, there is another story similar to that..........
There was a young apprentice to a philosopher who was told that every time someone insulted him, he was to pay them a dollar.
This went on for several years. Every time someone insulted the apprentice, he was obligated to give them a dollar.
One day, his teacher came out to him and told him that he no longer had to pay people when they insulted him, and told his student to go sit at the gates to the city.
Many passerby would notice his clothing which was patched and soiled. Some would stop to insult his lack of riches and fine clothing.
He then laughed at them and told them" what I once had to pay dearly for, you now give me for free!"
Yeah..........n00barf serves a purpose.
