Money for old rope
A old saying that means getting money for nothing or doing nothing.
It originates from a time when hangmen used to get to keep the rope from the condemned as a perk of the job and unscrupulous hangmen would just keep the rope and then sell pieces of old rope to gullible souvenir hunters at hangings instead.
I cant believe he was paid to sit around watching TV talk about money for old rope!
