If some rich dick offered to pay you $100 per self-inflicted paper cut, how many would you inflict upon yourself before you cried uncle?
Me, I’d probably try to get through most of my rent (7) and then decide it was no longer worth it…

We’ll start out with $10,000 worth please.
I could go for 100 of them. After that, it seems like you would be setting yourself up for some nasty infection.
I have an entire bottle of iodine, an iron constitution, and considerable ability to tolerate pain.
It’d be like an old Twilight Zone episode: the rich asshole would no longer be so rich when I’d get through with him… but I might need to buy some urgent medical care (or plastic surgery) before all’s said and done!
I could probably get most of the way to owning a BMW 6-series. Assuming I didn’t run out of unscored skin on my arms and legs. If it’s gonna be a Jackass type stunt where they pick especially nasty locations and an especially robust paper stock things might be a little different.
I’m not sure I’d even do one. There’s just something about a delibratelyself-inflicted papercut that just doesn’t sound worth it to me.
I actually shuddered when I read the thread title, no money for me, thanks.
Enough to pay off my debt and buy a new car and a house down the street. That’s about…ooh wait…I want a new birdcage and a new camera…OK, that’s 2,809 papercuts.
I’ll get started, just introduce me!
Yeah, I could do quite a few for that kind of scratch. So to speak. I’ll be behind **LunaV **going for middle to upper six digits. I’ll just smell like a garden from all the lavender essential oil afterwards.
Either 0 or a couple hundred, I’m thinking. I really don’t know if I could do the first one, but if I can, the sky’s the limit.
For a hundred? Not a chance.
I’m not even sure if I’d consider it adding a zero. Two zeros, perhaps.
(I *really * hate paper cuts)
I’d leave my face and neck unscathed, but I’d otherwise keep going until I ran out of uncut skin. And I have a lot of skin.
The right side of my body goes numb when I have a migraine, so I guess the question is how many papercuts before there’s any real risk of complications
Lessee, I got a tattoo and I PAID someone to inflict me with millions of tiny pinpricks so enough paper cuts to pay off my house would be no problemo.
Hell, if someone paid me $100 per papercut, I could be out of debt by Wednesday just trying to clean off my desk. Most papercuts are self-inflicted – very few people are attacked by murderous envelopes.
**Intentionally ** self-inflicted, two, maybe three.
Have you thought of proposing this to Fox?
It seems like a natural lead-in to “Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?”
Have any of you seen my face after a rugby match from all the grass cuts? Let’s see, student loans, credit card, an upcoming trip to Brazil, and a new Dodge Charger. I’ll take 60k worth of cuts, please.
Bleuurgh. I would do ONE, just to remind myself why I would be unable to do any more .
Happily, I have no debt to work off, so the incentive just ain’t there!
I have half a dozen cardboard cuts on each hand right now. One under the thumbnail. It’ll heal, then it will get cut again. And so on ad infinitum.
So long as I could choose where on my body I would get each cut, I would probably ask for enough cuts to buy a decent house.
Am I paying tax on those $100 per cut? 'cause, for these high monitary values you’d probably have to, thus increasing the number of cuts to reach a specific amount of cash.
