What is the 'free' caulking material?

I find myself reminded of a story about some well-meaning first worlders 
giving a bunch of porta-toilets to some poor third worlders who were 
using outhouses.  Once they were filled, and stinky, there was no truck 
to come empty them, so they sat, smelling but not composting (much).

A blind friend of mine has a phrase, "Help is a four letter word."  The 
sentiment being that unsolicited help is often worse than no help.

Thank You Kindly,

Corwyn
