December 12, 20178 yr Author Would you protest with Westboro Baptist at a soldier’s funeral? For $300M? Yeah, I'd hold my nose and do it. I'd then donate a very large amount of $$ to the Wounded Warriors and make sure said soldier's family never has to worry about anything financially every again.
December 12, 20178 yr Author I'm approaching this as a business transaction. Separating beliefs and emotions from the decision making process.
December 12, 20178 yr I thought $300M was $300 thousand.! Usually depends on your training. Do you have a finance background? It definitely used to be that the designation would have been “$300MM” since the M didn’t actually stand for million but “miles”, the Latin word for thousand, so you’d need MM, a thousand thousand, which would be a million. Finance is one of the few places that terminology lives on.
December 12, 20178 yr Yeah I mean I guess we underestimated the troubled minds we were dealing with here. You only underestimated that of course it would have to be something so ridiculous, horrible, sadistic or moronic. I mean, come on guys, think about it. That kind of money? Duh!
December 12, 20178 yr I don't think I could have my taste buds removed for that, but it would certainly have its benefits. Other no-gos for me: Loss of sight or hearing, voluntary colostomy bag/catheter, encourage my kid to play football, blending my manhood, handling another man's manhood, drugs, prescription or otherwise, harder than a mushroom. There's probably more.

December 12, 20178 yr Anybody else just read the title of the thread and expect to see this when you opened it?
December 12, 20178 yr Think about this. How many pros have turned down numbers close to that???? Hoping for more. And we are challenging our minds of what we would do for a slice of that pie.
December 12, 20178 yr There is an old joke where a man asks a women if she would have "relations" for 100 dollars. She says No. Then he asks her if she would have "relations" for 300 million dollars and she says, "300 million dollars? Probably okay, yes." So then he asks her if she would have relations for 200 dollars. She says, "No, what kind of lady do you think I am!!" The man says, "Dear, we have established that. Now we are just haggling over price."
December 12, 20178 yr There are a lot of things I wouldn't do for $300 million. Besides, if I wanted the money that bad I'd just rob MTGL.
December 13, 20178 yr Besides, if I wanted the money that bad I'd just rob MTGL. Walkin' around money. Real life Big Baller Brand.
