Would You? Could You?

The other night the Hubbers and I were discussing what we would and would not do for $1 Billion. Well, it started what we would do for $5000. My husband was shocked to find out that I would do almost nothing for $5000. Seriously in today's dollar, $5000 is chump chain I reasoned. Upping the ante, I asked he would eat a turd for $5000. He was sure that he would. I stated without reserve that I would not. Upping the ante again he asked would I do it for $1 Billion. Again, I said no. I don't think that I would be able to do anything of the sort. Not for any amount of money. Sure I would run naked down Fifth Ave for $1 Billion dollars. I would eat raw meat for $1 Billion dollars. I would even force myself to sleep with Clive Owen for $1 Billion dollars, but I would not be willing to eat a turd. Not even with ketchup.

I asked my twitter friends how they felt about this question and they were pretty equally divided. Some would and some would not. So I ask you inter-web. What would you do for $1 Billion? Would you eat a turd? Would you run naked down a busy street? Would you sleep with Clive Owen? What would you be willing to do?

Correction: My husband has requested that I make it clear that he would not, could not eat a turd for $5000. $1 Billion yes, but $5000, NO. I stand corrected and I profoundly apologize for any harm I may have cause the Hubbers and his family (oh wait, that is me).

Yes to Clive Owen [oh, yes, to Clive Owen]. Yes to running naked, although I am not a fitness fanatic, so could it be a leisurely stroll? No to poop. Just no way.

Ooh... great question. I think if I would even attempt to eat a turd I'd barf before I ever got there.

Yes to running naked, yes to sleeping with Cliff Owen.

At least you have standards. It is amazing how many people would do anything giving the right monetary reward... BTW, my wife and I are working to give her the opportunity to be a stay at home mom. This is truly a blessing. Take care.
