Quick Poll #7

You find a satchel in your backyard. No ID. Nobody sees you.

The satchel is stuffed with money, a little over $350,000. There's also a gun and a plastic baggie filled with cocaine.

What do you do?

#1. Take it to the police.

#2. Keep the money, disassemble the gun, scatter the parts around the city, dispose of the coke. Burn the satchel. Use part of the money to move so nobody finds me.

Rules:
Assume the police will NEVER return the money to you, since it's obviously drug money and legally part of evidence. Assume also that whomever lost the satchel knows (roughly) where they stashed it, and will try to get it back. Anybody who writes this up as a screenplay for a TV movie must yadda yadda...

#3. Keep the money, place my television out in the yard where the bag was stashed. Sit up 'round the clock, waiting for the hoodlum to return. Periodically snort cocaine to stay awake. When the hoodlum gets his fingerprints on the TV, I bust a cap in 'im, return the unused cocaine, and call the police.

Keep most of the money, put it in a bahamainian bank, turn bag, gun, coke and a couple thou in cash into cops, anonymously tip the newspaper that a bag with a large amount of money (note actual amount not specified), gun and coke was found and where, legally change name and SSN (tell the SSA that somebody has been impersonating you and they will change your number if you insist, there ARE ways to track it but it's mildly difficult) move, leave no forwarding address. (cops may help with this if you can make a good enough case that the druggie will come looking for you with blood in his eye) problem solved..... the druggie thinks that the cops have the money and gun, he has no EASY way of finding you and probably would decide it ain't worth the effort, the money is safely out of the country earning interest, and the cops helped you disappear!

D. Take the money out of the bag. Leave the coke and gun in the bag and toss it into the yard of a neighbor I hate.


Yes, I am evil. Yadda yadda...

The drug dealer will return whether you take the money or not.

Buy the biggest, meanest, mangiest dog I can find, leave about a grand in the bag, and let the dog chew up and piss on the rest. If questioned "Rufus had a bad spell a while back where he stayed up all night yowling and constipated, but I didn't think anything of it."

if i had a nickle for everytime drug money.....oh nevermind....i have no good answer for this one....350,000 is hardly worth moving for, i like my house, but if i go to the police, the dealer would probably come back before the police got them...so, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

It's legal in Utah? Kewl!

Somehow I think it'd be EXTRA-illegal for a WOMAN to have two, instead of a MAN having two. Maybe I'm wrong, but you don't see many women out there with two husbands.

I do know a guy with two wives, though. But obviously only one is his "legal" wife.

Besides being ON SALE, if you get tired of one, you can play with the other one. (You're never bored!)


Response #25

But the HUSBANDS would get bored, see, while you're playing with the others, and wander off. I hate when husbands become strays. You have to go around the neighborhood, whistling and calling their name...

Eventually they get hungry and come back. That's when you switch #1 with #2. (Or so I'm guessing.)

SoS, do NOT tell me your penis doesn't have an appetite. I simply won't believe you.

Sooz, it's not the food I'm talking about. And I don't think you have problem providing THAT kind of nourishment.

Witch: You're assuming that men want sex worse than women do. Tsk, tsk.


Response #34
By: rorschach
Date: 10/11/01 1:04:44 PM

I dunno about "worse" so much as generally "MORE"..... I know it must be a sterotype but I still think it is true, some women dont EVER want it, some just "lie there" until it's over and eschew any attempt at fore(four?)play.... whereas i challenge you to find a guy who'd rather "be held".... while I admit there is a wide range of "appetites", if you average them all up, I think I'd be right.


Response #35
By: WitchHazel
Date: 10/11/01 1:14:58 PM

Sooz, you're wrong. I was implying that, as a women, TWO would be fun. Does that sound like it favors the MAN? ;-)

But, in all reality, I must agree that the "norm" is how Ror* described it. Or am I wrong here? At least that's how it is, according to the people *I* know, who share their sexual experiences/views.


Response #36
By: sooz
Date: 10/11/01 7:05:15 PM

Dammit. Why do I manage to find men that aren't the "norm"? Richie would much rather hold and hug and kiss than do the "deed."

And I have no doubt Bob will voice an opinion on this subject.

The women I've known (*KNOWN*) were a lot more interested in the emotional end than the physical end. Of course, it could have been ME.

I am emotionally more like a guy and definitely a girl in the physical realm.

I was hoping to be able to find a sliced nipple picture on the internet somewhere, but it turns out that even fetishists have their limits, I suppose.

I did end up looking at a student 'zine for the University of Maryland, called The Cow Nipple. In particular, I ended up at their public bathroom of the month, which is kinda funny, in that 'we're a frat, so we can name our toilets after women' sort of way.

actually, i find i cut myself less with the more blades on the razor. when i shave with a single blade i have to go get a tranfussion. of course, it could ahve something to do with the fact that i shave about once or twice a month

Actually, there are fetish extremists who are into "cutting"...

My sliced nipple healed quite nicely; no scar even! So I have nothing but a weird anecdote to remember the occassion.

It happened in Albany, Oregon, for you West Coast fans.
