I just saw one of those nutters offering free hugs in the street outside my building. I’m sure he’d be thrilled to give you plenty. ---

I’ll give you a hug, but as a free-enterprise entrepeneur, I have to inform you that my hugs cost $50 a squeeze. If you want an actual _cuddle_, that’ll cost you an extra 75 (AUD). Y'see, I don't give a fuck whether you're sad or not (that's YOUR problem), but if I can make a few out of it, then it’s a win-win situation, innit? Your sadness, my profit…that’s what makes the world go 'round. 😃 ---

I’m sorry you are hurting, **Rand**. Hope your sad feelings don’t last very long. Just dread one day at a time. That’s my motto. Don’t make me lick your face. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-sad-can-i-get-a-hug/539856.md?page=2)
