For A Billion Dollars, Would You...

[Xprimentyl]

At the bar last night, a buddy of mine posed a doozie of a ?For a billion dollars, would you?? question that I just had to share, also wanted to see if any of you had some of your own I can take back to him!

For a BILLION dollars, would you eat a spoonful of shit, its origins unknown, after every meal for the rest of your life? (I decided I couldn?t do it. A billion dollars would be great, but tasting shit 24/7 forever? I?d be miserable.)

Oh friend, you gotta learn to take advantage!

Absolutely I'd do it. Gotta get creative with this man! Its a billion dollars!

Spoiler: yes, absolutely

Does it have to be a spoon full of shit? Can I mix it with the rest of the food? If not, what about 2 spoons, but I get to mix it with the food.

A one-time sum? No. The money would go, or lose its value, but the feces would remain no matter what. I'm not accepting certain misery for likely but not guaranteed happiness.

EDIT: If you could guarantee that the money would retain all its value at least until I spent it, then I still wouldn't, but I'd hate myself for not doing it.

Nope.

Pretty hard to enjoy life when you have gastroenteritis all the time. People, and most other ground-dwelling animals, are instinctively repulsed by feces for a reason.

Plus, gross.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Fuck no, that's a terrible deal.

I imagine that doing so would likely significantly reduce how much time "the rest of your life" actually lasts.

I think you're underestimating how much a billion gets you in the immediate. Like...you couldn't spend that much money in a lifetime. Once you buy a new mansion, a new car or two, fancy clothes, a watch, and put 50 million in stocks or bonds to appreciate in value, you're still left with some $900million.

Bear Grylls would. And if he would, so would I. Except I would fuck off asap with that money, never to be found again.

Spoiler: You damn right there's a gif for this...

After all, how much would a shiny new plastic upper-digestive replacement system cost, after all?

Can I just have my sense of taste fried out somehow? I'll bet I could find a way.

...

I'd likely do a lot of throwing up to start

and I'd lose a lot of weight (because I'd stop eating so much)

 

[Leg End]

No because you can die from that shit, no pun intended.
