We were at a restaurant today, passing time with off the wall topics while waiting for our food to arrive.
One theme that always seems to reoccur is- "Would you do ______________ for a million dollars? 5 million? 10?" We try to come up with the scariest, grossest, and most outrageous questions.
Today, Dylan said: "Would you cut off your leg for 10 million dollars?"
Me: "No way. You?"
Dylan: "Yes."
Me: "There is no way! Ridiculous! Really?
Dylan: "Yeah. I'd just buy a prosthetic one with my money."
Me: "Okay, how about left over pain of the amputation, never doing extreme sports again, no wall climbing, running fast--"
Dylan interrupts: "Yeah....no way. Nevermind."
Rickey joins in: "How about a finger? I would."
(he later elaborates that it would have to be for more than a million, more like 10 and only give up his little finger)
Dylan said he would. I said maybe for 10 mil.
I said: "Okay, what about your ear?"
Rickey: "Nope."
Me: "It won't affect your hearing at all, you can get a realistic looking fake one, and you can grow your hair out."
Rickey: "No."
Me: "You're kidding! You would chop off your finger, but not your ear?" (as if he should be logical here)
Food comes. Game ends. Final results: Dylan and I would chop off our ear. No one would give up their leg. And Rickey and Dylan easily giving up a finger.
What about you???? :)

I love the concept of your blog but don't think I would really give up on anything (except maybe some bad habits) for any amount of money.
Ummm..maybe my appendix?
Nice profile pic,by the way..
Susan-thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Anamika. No finger or ear? :)
A toe... definitely a toe. Except maybe the big one, ya need it for balance.
Otherwise I despise any sort of sandal so it's about as un-invasive of a removable appendage as I can think of.
Other than that I'd gladly take a million dollars to remove something from someone else.
10 million? Probably not. But, Chocolate? Hmmmm....
