Patrick Says

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?

Okay, between the two jobs I worked Friday and the recent problems surfacing around here, I totally forgot to start the Challenge.

Sorry. We’ll pick it back up in a few weeks with this challenge or a different one. How about the challenge to keep my sanity?

AND…GO!

That is all.

So, I’m working extremely late and listening to my music library while doing it. The song ’32 Flavors’ is playing by Ani DiFranco. The flavors reference comes from Baskin-Robbins’ ice cream parlors and their ’31 flavors’ slogan.

Then it occurred to me.
Can I even name 31 flavors of ice cream, without assistance?
Let’s try.

1. Chocolate
2. Vanilla
3. Strawberry
4. Butter pecan
5. Neapolitan
6. Spumoni
7. Bing cherry
8. Rocky road
9. Chocolate chip cookie dough
10. Mint chocolate chip
11. Toffee bar crunch

Yeah. About done. That’s way harder than you think it is.
