A very poor man may be said in some sense to have a demand for Merrys leather happiness; he might live to have it; but his demand is not an effectual demand, and the commodity can never be brought to market in order to satisfy it. The demand for a free mouse however…There is no such thing as a free mouse.

Happiness in leather form
I just told you. No such thing as a free mouse.
The Worst of Perth 
Merry’s is on the site of former Canterbury Court, home of boxing, the Cramps, New Order, jesus & Mary Chain…
You couldn’t buy happiness there.

Nothing like a spot of pole dancing http://tinyurl.com/478pjq to put a smile on your dial, TLA, or maybe they’re just always happy. The mice seem even better hidden than in a Paul Rigby cartoon, though.

I assume it began as “2 friendly adult mice for sale.”

I tried to buy happiness from Merry’s Leather World and all I got was a lousy couch.

Mice for sale implies some sort of transaction.
And yet the mice are free, implying neither goods nor services will change hands.
I am confused.
