You know that "people" say (as in "THEY SAY" ;) ) that EVERYONE "has his price".

I think that there are SOME things that CAN'T be "bought".

So what would you do for money and/or what wouldn't you do for ANY amount of cash?

(Think in the directions of torture/murder/sex [Indecent Proposal ?] /eating yucky things .... let your imagination roam free... ;) :D )


No worries,

What I would do for money, or have done.

Placed hand in a beaker of water at 70C for 10 seconds. Eaten a big waxy Eucalyptus leaf off a tree (very bitter and poisonous if eaten in large amounts apparently). Lit fireworks on the oval, moved my desk next to the teachers one for a week, karaoke with a small radio and many more of course. Nothing along the lines of murder or sex @ Beldin :D

What would I do for money, its best not to say really. :D ;)

LOL @Tam.

So now we know what you DID or would do . How about "wouldn't" do's ?

How about skinny dipping with Roseanne Barr ?

WORRIES,

Beldin :cool:

How could you be ashamed of something you didn't do ?

No worries,

Best left unsaid Beldin ;)

The fact that I have been asked to do certain things for money may give people the wrong impression. :D ;)

I was in college when Anna Nicole Smith married Howard Marshall. She was 26, he was 89. A bunch of us were sitting around one night and one of the girls in my dorm was saying how disgusting the idea of marrying an 89 year old man was.

"He's worth $400 million," said one of the guys in the dorm. It turns out he was actually worth $1.6 billion.

"But that's just sick," she replied.

"Hell, for $400 million, I'd marry the guy," said my other friend. "You can buy a lot of toothpaste for $400 million."

While there are probably some things that you couldn't pay me to do, I think a lot of people are mecenary enough to do most anything for money. That's the premise for the show I Bet You Will that's running on MTV; they pay a pittance amount of cash for people to do gross things.

I think it would generarly be rather difficult to tempt me into doing strange things for money... not neccessarily because i dont think its worth it or because I have moral objections (wich i have), but because I would be too suspicious about the paying persons motives to actually agree to anything. ;)

Dottie, i will give you £100 if you, erm, agree to wear Dr Martins boots... :D

What wouldn't i do for money, pretty much anything involving exchanging bodily fluids. What would i do, anything daring and dangerous that doesn't kill me ;)

Well what would I do for money? Im not sure. I need someone to ask me, "Would you do so and so for so and so amount of money?"

What I wouldnt do for money-killing people or animals (Im a naturalist-animals are JUST as important as humans), killing insects would be OK. Anything that has to do with sex, I wouldnt do for money, I do have morals. And anything that would land me in a heap of trouble with the law, I wouldnt do.

Fear factor

What people won't do for money... :rolleyes:
All the scary stuff is pretty cool and I'd love to do what they do. Even without the money. But eating bugs and the anus of a pig (no joke :eek: ) is just gros and wrong.

We had a show here a couple of years back where people had to do stuff themselves or get other people to do stuff so they could win money.
One time they even had a contest who had the smallest penis. That guy won some money but couldn't show his face on the streets...

Money is fun to have lots of, but I'd never do stupid stuff to get it.

Some of the "gross" foods they eat are considered delacasies(spelling?! :eek: ) in other countries. That doesnt mean I would ever like to try that stuff (like tripe), it just means that some people once considered it tasty. I would eat those nasty foods for money aslong as it isnt poisonous, or harmful.

Eating the anus of a pig isn't considered a delicassie (sp? :D ) anywhere IMO. But you're right about other stuff like insects.
And people aren't supposed to eat it.
Perhaps it can be bad for you, but I don't know. We'll have to try I guess! :D

Well I was going to order a pizza, but now that you mention it, pig anus sounds a lot more tasty. ;) :D

Yes, thank you for destroying my apetite :mad: ;)
