What would you do for $10,000,000.00 ?
« on: January 09, 2008, 11:28:28 am »
People always hold pretty dear to their moral ideals. However, the potential for a sudden influx of money (or other benefits) often has a way of making people re-evaluate the full scope and strictness of their moral boundries. If that wasn't the case, shows like fear factor wouldn't exist.
My question to you all is, is there anything you currently find yourself morally unwilling to do, which you would reconsider and actually do for a large sum of money or a potential non-monetary prize?

Tell us what those things that you wouldn't consider doing are and why you would do them in exchange for a substantial benefit.

For $10,000,000.00 I would pick the scabs off Paris Hilton's woo-woo.  I would demand a pair of surgical gloves first though.

For $10,000,000 I might actually think about swallowing my pride and use the term "woo-woo" in casual conversation ... once.

It would be a struggle, but I would think about it.

I'd come to work naked, in warmer weather of course.  Hell, I'd come to work naked when it's cold.  They might think I'd lost it on the first day.  But the second day I'd likely be out of a job or arrested.  It wouldn't matter; I'd have the big bucks to make up for it (and the lack of my work-provided insurance  :D )!

Always COBRA David :)

Pretty much anything that didn't make me hurt my family, maybe my brother..nah not even him. I probably would not purposefully give HIV to anyone either. OK maybe Bush and Cheney....OK definitely Bush and Cheney. Condi maybe to, but sleeping with a woman would be tough....especially her.

I would vote for Huckabee and grin as I took the 10 mil and moved to Costa Rica where I love it :D
I would sleep with hundreds of men...shit did that for free.
I would teach again at an inner city school....maybe.
I eat those weird spiders that they used to make them eat on Fear  Factor.
I don't know not much I wouldn't do really.

This question reminds me of something drummer Joe Morello said to me about when he was asked by Dave Brubeck if he would like to join his quartet and play Birdland (back in the 50s when Brubeck was very big).

Morello's instant and unhesitating response: Who do I have to kill?

I don't believe that for one minute, I know for a fact that there a two little people out there who would want for nothing for the rest of their lives.. ;)

What I wouldn't do...anything that would hurt my family, friends or animals.

What I would do however is give Dan whatever he wanted if he promised not to use the word.Woo Woo again.. :D

I know I wouldn't eat any kind of animal's balls, insects or drink blood. Sorry, just wouldn't do it. I wouldn't share any with any of my family members except my children.

Now an indecent proposal, well, shit, let me get blazed up enough and I would do a few people I wouldn't even consider if sober. With a condom, of course.

For 10 million, i'd shave my head.  Wouldn't be the 1st time I was bald :o.  For that kind of money, I'd even let my inlaws move in - and promptly LEAVE.

I would give up my life if it would make a friend $10 million richer, but they would have to be happy, too. How can that be guaranteed?

Also, they have to sing this song every year on my birthday:

Ohhhhh, I would do anything that wouldn't hurt myself or the ones I love.  I don't know that I'd eat bugs or anything like that, but when it comes to sex, well, just about anything goes for that much money.

I'd hire 500 people, and picket a certain Insurance company EVERY day because they denied my wife a liver transplant. We had a contract, and a liver transplant was clearly part of the contract.

She passed away as they refused to pay for the transplant.

I would do it every day for as long as I could.

for $10 million american... mmmm, I don't think theres much I wouldn't do, coz that much money would substantially change my life for the better, and make things ALOT easier!

Wouldn't hurt anyone, or have unsafe sex with anyone, or scat/children...

lol, and I think I'd prefer not to sweat for it, too :P

If we all have that kind of money Jeffrey you wouldn't need to hire anyone, we would all be standing in that picket line either with you or for you.

I'm with Rod.  We lived in a trailor park from 1995 - 2001.  At first in Louisiana, then we paid a fortune to have it moved 1120 miles to WV.  In 2001, we bought our house.  Personally, except for the size, I like my trailor better.

I cant think of much I wouldn't do aside from the basic stuff other people above have already mentioned. No hurting the family yada yada.

probably almost anything that doesnt include harming my kids or family members...

See, I would probably go that far.  Not to something that would lead to a fatality (well, maybe a few of my cousins or an Aunt or two).  I come from a large family, and I'm not sure that a few of them would be that missed, when you look at the bigger picture

Yep, I'd probably do most things for that amount of money.
