And of course the D-Ring is free, the wall/ceiling where it hangs is free,
the utilities needed so you can see what is hanging in that D-Ring, the
insurance to cover the landlords butt when you fall off the ladder, the
water & plumbing so's you can wash out your soiled undies and rinse off
the spurting blood from the arterial puncture from that fall... all free.
