10 guns are sitting in front of you on a table...
« on: September 24, 2008, 06:14:05 PM »
... and 1 is loaded.  For 1 billion dollars, would you pick up the gun of your choice, aim it at yourself, and pull the trigger?!

This is similar to one of the questions on The Book of Questions, which really gets you thinking.  It's a drastic example, but would you do it?  I'd have to say no, myself.

How about a less crazy question - You have 10 Mach 3's in front of you.  Only one has real blades, the rest are rubber.  For a million dollars, would you take one, knowing it's the only "blade" you could use for the next year!??!

I'll have to go NO on both of these.  After about a week or so, that blade is going to get dull. Blood transfusions will eat up my million dollars.

The gun think, no way.  Life is far more valuable than a billion dollars.

I say yes to the gun question, and would pick only types of guns that have a visual safety like a Beretta 9mm, or a Taurus, just sounds like easy money. If they were all revolvers or something like that, then NO.

No on the razor question though, gotta keep it slick!

Heck yeah I would do it.  On the Razor that is.  It says you would have to use that same razor for a year?  Heck I can do that only if I get a Million dollars.  I would go buy the best damn razor money could buy and then I would use the rubber razor everyday... damn right I would.  I would use it to help clear the snow off the windsheild, use it as a squeegie on the windows.  Might even use it to trim around the windows when painting...teh list can go on and on.

I am with anvil on this one, yes to the gun if I got to pick one of the guns, something with a loaded chamber indicator.

Razor yes, I just wouldn't shave for a year, I love being bald, but for a million bucks, I could retire on that.

That'd be a no go on the guns. a 1 in 10 change that I cease to exist? I don't like those odds.

As to the razors? Yeah... I'd look like a stupid horseshoe head for a year for a million.

NO on the guns thing - I wouldn't know one from another anyway.  On the RAZOR, I'd go for that and use the money to have laser hair removal and the razor wouldn't be needed anyway - I'd just use my beard trimmer to keep my face trimmed up.

No way to the guns..... you can't put a value on life.

To the razor question...... I'd do it. I wore a horseshoe for 7 years so another year for that kind of money wouldn't hurt.

I don't need the money  ;D  ;D  ;D



......... Then I'd wake up realising how far from the truth that is. The gun thing, unless I could get a hook of some kind to manipulate the situation or blatantly cheat, NAH!! Money sure might might take the sting off making ends meets but i've already figured it wouldn't give true contentment in my life.


Razor, Yeah baby easy peezey!!!!

Yes!  I'd aim it at my pinky toe.  The question never specified where on myself I had to aim it.
