Hypothetical O’The Day…
When I was in the Air Force, we’d occasionally play a game where someone would create a disgusting scenario and see how much money it would take for you to do it. It was all hypothetical. Like eating toe jam on crackers for $1,000, for example. So, let’s play!
You stop at a gas station because you really need to go to the restroom. For our scenario, let’s assume a BM is involved. So, you run into the restroom and it’s disgusting. Beyond disgusting. In the toilet is an inhuman amount of feces…and it’s watery.
Thoroughly grossed out yet?
Well, here’s the question. Sitting in the toilet just below water level is some American currency. You can tell its authentic, but getting it out will require sticking your hand into the bowl. There are no fancy tricks. You can’t fish it out with a stick. You are reaching in. So, how much does that bill have to be for your hand to get there after it?
By the way, don’t even act like you wouldn’t take that money. You can always wash your hand after. But what’s the line of you being in or out?
What bill are you reaching in for?

I was officially afraid to click on the ‘BM’ link. Bleh!
This is a gross one for sure. I wouldn’t do it at all because although I understand my hands are washable…that money is paper and I’m not interested in trying to get skid marks off a dollar bill. I’d leave it for someone far more desperate than me to give it a try. Bleh.

This is Sharon using Kim’s computer and oh, HELL NO would I be stickin’ my hand into some nasty toilet getting out ANYTHING! And I AM getting to the desperate point fast!

No no no no way.
Just thinking about it is making me sick.
Maybe it is because I’m just getting over a stomach bug of some sort.
But no.
Yes, my hands will wash, but I wouldn’t make it that far. I’d barf. I might lose it before I even noticed there was money in there.

@all You people are insane. You’d leave $1,000 in a toilet? That’s ridiculous. I can’t fathom how you think that’s how you’d react…

When we did this sort of thing at my previous job, we had the discussion that a theoretical $1000 is WAAAAAY different from a real live pile o’ cash (or filthy bill, in this case). I’d have to say that I know I wouldn’t do it for the $100, but for the $1000, even though I’d probably puke for days, no lie, I’d at least give it serious thought. But honestly, you’re talking to a woman who cleans the bathroom in her OWN house with gloves on, and just me, The Husband and my 3 year old currently use it. And I even used the gloves when I lived alone. So there ya go.

Ah, Jami, the voice of reason. I knew I could count on you.
I can’t believe no one commented on my incorrect use of the word bowel instead of bowl.
