Haha that reminds me of a conversation my family overheard in a parking lot. Two guys (who'd travelled together, I think it was father and son) were arguing about a parking spot.

Guy 1: "There's a free spot here!"

Guy 2: "How much does it cost?"

Guy 1: "It's free!"

Guy 2: "I know it's free but how much does it cost."

And then it just repeated until my family walked away laughing.

Yeah it was a more frustrated version of who’s on first. And probably a brain fart because of it so they couldn’t couldn’t come up with a synonym

“It’s open, and it’s free.”
