Hmm. World Eater, I’ll see your bet and raise you a pair of tap shoes. I would also consider strapping cymbals to my knees and playing percussion for my singing. Or maybe using maracas and changing the song to the Chiquita Banana commercial jingle. Would I be allowed to wear a funny hat with fruit on it, as long as I was naked below the earlobes?
What the hell. Once I get my million, it isn’t like I’m ever going back anyway.
Make it 2.5 million, and you’re on. That’s the amount I figure is my “drop dead” money: That amount of money I’d need, minimum, to be able to tell the whole world to “drop dead”.
Lessee… At a nice, conservative 5% return, that’s US$125K per year… Yup! That’d do it!
Regarding the OP, I would. I work in a hospital that has a psych floor. I imagine I’d end up spending a lot of time up there before collecting, but I’d do it.
That would definitely make the first day of school interesting for my fifth graders. Given that I’d lose my job and never get a job teaching again, I’d say the price is too high. Make it 2.5, and I’d make the sacrifice.
Why would you need to get another job with that kind of money (properly invested in a high return account of course!) Make it one million sterling and you’re on!
I’d do it, and so would the co-workers I asked. The only problem is that at this place, we’d have to be naked all day, as nobody would ever bother to call the police. Hell, half the office parties end with the chairman (male), the VP (female), the accountant (female) and various other employees in advanced states of undress. They’d just think I started early.
I just asked another co-worker and his answer was “absolutely not!” When asked why, he said “because I’d have to be naked for the rest of my life! They’d never throw me out!” When we changed to conditions to include a one day limit, he said “my pants are down right now.”
