    Default Before you on a table are ten pistols

    One is loaded, the rest are blank.

    You must step up, pick a pistol, put it to your forehead, and pull the trigger.

    If you live, you get 10 million dollars.

    Do you do it?

    Absolutly.
    And I would take about 30 minutes to decide which gun I chose, and 2 seconds to grab it, aim it at my head and pull the trigger.

    If its the loaded one, I bet for a SPLIT SECOND, It'll feel like a rush of cool air.

    LOL "For a split second"

    I think I'd pass on actually doing it myself. But, I'd sit and watch everyone else. Hahaha

    Nah. If I was single with no family or friends to worry about, then sure. As it stands now, it simply isn't worth it...and money isn't that important to me. If it was, then I would have worked harder in my life and stepped on more heads along the way to make more of it.

    As grandpa said to Charlie in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory "There is so much money out there in the world but there is only seven golden tickets and you have one."

    Of course, I have figured out how to make enough money to live comfortably, others might be more willing to take the risk. (Though I have thought about going to work for Halliburton in Iraq - but I haven't dialed the phone yet!)

    I wouldn't do it. I'd do just about anything for the right amount of money except for killing myself or another or permanently injuring another person or having sex with a family member.

    I figure I have a 1 in 10 chance of dying each day I leave the house. Sure, I'd do it. I'm doing it anyway, might as well get paid. Here's something to thicken the plot....

    If you end up shooting yourself, and don't die, do you still get the money? What caliber pistol are we talking here?

    nope, there would be no way i could do it. I'm too much of a wuss. I almost chickened out of my 2nd tattoo, and came close to passing out just looking at the needle. so there is no way i could put a gun to my head and pull the freakin trigger. I don't need the money that bad!
    the only way i think i could ever do it, is if i had taken a crapload of ectasy. because then i just wouldn't care.

    Semiauto or revolver?

    Full clip/chambers?

    Single or double action?

    I think there are better ways of putting my life at risk with the possibility of scoring a load of cash should lady luck be on my side.

    So what's the going failure rate on a decent condom?

    before I had my baby, I'd say yes in a heartbeat.

    Now, I don't think I could do it. I'd be tempted though.

    No, for the following reasons:

    1. It's really 5m after taxes
    2. If it's "tax free" the IRS would find out about it, and I'd want to shoot myself.
    3. I'm a father. Not enough money in the world to take me away from my daughter.
    4. Having money just means you have different problems: accountants, tax issues, attorneys and the IRS. Plus, you have dancers to take care of all over the place. (Oh shit, did I say that out loud? )
    5. Right now I'm trying to prevent my two business partners from clawing each other's eyes out. Money does funny things to people. On days like this, I have fond memories of being a starving student.

    The dilemma presented here is similar to that of a short story by the writer Frank Stockton. In brief, the story runs as follows.

    The "semibarbaric king" of an ancient land utilized an unusual form of administering justice for offenders in his kingdom. The offender would be placed in an arena where his only way out would be to go through one of two doors. Behind one door was a beautiful woman hand-picked by the king and behind the other was a ravenous tiger. The offender was then asked to pick one of the doors. If he picked the door with the woman behind it, then he was declared innocent and as a reward he was required to marry the woman, regardless of previous marital status. If he picked the door with the tiger behind it, though, then he was deemed guilty and the tiger would rip him to pieces.

    One day the king found that his daughter, the princess, had taken a lover far beneath her station. The king could not allow this and so he threw the suitor in prison and set a date for his trial in the arena. On the day of his trial the suitor looked to the princess for some indication of which door to pick. The princess, did, in fact, know which door concealed the woman and which one the tiger, but was faced with a conundrum. If she indicated the door with the tiger, then the man she loved would be killed on the spot. However, if she indicated the door with the lady, her lover would be forced to marry another woman and even though he would be alive she would never be with him again. Despite this catch 22 she does end up indicating a door, which the suitor then opens. At this point the question is posed to the reader, "Did the tiger come out of that door, or did the lady?" the question is not answered, though, and is left as a thought experiment regarding human nature.

    From its publication and surprise ending, "the lady or the tiger" has come into the English language as an expression meaning an unsolvable problem.
