Dumb things done for money...

[Fergie]

So, today, my last day of work, my boss bet me I wouldn't drink a 20oz cup of ranch dressing for $50.

He lost the bet.

What was more interesting was the fact that other people in the office said "I'd never do something like that for money." And while my sensitive backside would tend to agree after three rounds of explosive flatulence, I got to wondering if I was the only person in that office that had ever done anything like that.

So, am I the only one, or have our friends ever gotten the better of us with a little monetary persuasion?

[red91]

don't worry...someone bet me my wife wouldn't marry me. I put down $100.00 on the table...


I lost....

I wish he'd been right :D


I miss that $100.00...

[RichP]

I used to bet people I could eat a raw clam without putting it in my mouth... :laugh3:

I've heard people say 'I would not do that for any amount of money' proven that they would do it for considerably less actually :D :gag:

[Beej]

I once drank glass of water with hundreds of five year old 'Garbage Can' candies ground up in it for $5. It all came graphically back out about ten minutes later. A fiver seems like so much money when you're ten... :D

If I could host a video and then post it I won 10 bucks from a dumb friend that bet me I couldn't com around a 90deg turn(winter time, packed snow and ice) make the back end of my FWD Buick swing out and clip a road cone barrel thingy with the passenger rear corner of the car and straighten it out again...Afterward I treated everyone in the car to hot drinks at 7-11 with my new 10 bucks.

Mmmmmmm... Ranch dressing... I would have done that without a second thought. Nobody's ever laid down money before to bet me something, I feel leftout :(

don't worry...someone bet me my wife wouldn't marry me. I put down $100.00 on the table...

I'm confused, if she married you doesn't that mean you won the bet?

I bet Cody a pack of smokes the other day that Johnny Walker Gold label was more expensive than a Johnny Walker Blue label!

I lost!

[bajacalal]

Be careful of what gross items you eat in front of others, for money. I have a picture in a yearbook of me eating a millipede-like insect. This was before anything like "Survivor" came on tv so it became a big deal and is now on my record for life...

[Beej]

I lost!What the hell? Cody's old enough to smoke? :confused:

Doesn't he know smoking makes you look like a teenager? Or is that just up here in Liberalia?

[Geepfreak]

he thinks it's sophisticated, especially here in Utah.

[Lawn Cher']

Whoa whoa whoa, nobody said anything about smoking! There's no smoking in my house. Drinking yes, but no smoking. Can Cody deal with that?

How do I always get brought up in conversation?

Mark, I wasnt planning on it. I can go without.

Again, I'm just busting your ballz. You can smoke outside, but just consider what it is doing to your body.

Sorry Fergie. :kissyou:

In highschool, a long time ago, I remember one kid let another guy spit a lugee into his mouth and he swallowed it for $20. However, I am the stupid one and still have not grown up. On a fishing trip a couple of weeks ago - yes there were adult beverages involved - a guy bet me dinner that I could not stand him pressing his cigar into my forearm for five second. Really, really stupid. However, it is healing up decently and I ate like a pig!

How about - dumb things avoided for money?

My grandfather, after seeing his dad die of lung cancer from smoking, paid my dad, three uncles, aunt, and their spouses each $1000 not to smoke. And about 40 years ago that was some good money, but my youngest uncle and his wife couldn't quit so they gave the money back!

I did consider THAT way of looking at but just wasn't sure, and yes I'm a n00b so... it's a married thing, I just wouldn't understand.

You saw that?
Crap.

[johnnyc]

I knew an idiot who drank a bottle of Tabasco sauce for $5.

Well you can guess what happened. :puke: But he was so jazzed that he made $5.

[ChicksDigWagons]

The last time I did that was for $10 from a few guys at work...except only one of them paid up GRRRRRR

I drank a carton of orange juice, added 10 suzie Qs, and topped it off with a little dipping cup of ranch dressing of completely unknown origins or age...it was pretty yellow... They didn't even pay up after I projectile vomited it all back up. Bastards.

[Tom R.]

I used to work with some very sick individuals who used to lay down cash for just about anything.

One of our bosses is a pepper fanatic who grows most of his peppers. He brought in a bag of Habanero peppers and left detailed instructions for their use and handling for those who wanted some. The smallest sliver from one of these peppers was enough to light you mouth on fire. Well the money came out and the challenge was on. The victim had to chew the pepper twenty times and then swallow it. Two people took the challenge. First, they turned very red. Then their necks and their tongues became so swollen they could barely talk. Then the contents of their stomachs made a hasty exit (vomit), which caused burning all over again. Stupid people. :laugh3:

But that's nothing... Another time they got a guy to drink a combination of Dr. Pepper and diarherria. He did it.

Next was the guy who stuck his head in a cigarette "butt can" for so many seconds. He succeeded and then proceeded to throw up. That made for another challenge. Someone had to lick the vomit. Someone did.

Another time they challenged someone to "sit" on a grounding rod that was sticking about three feet out of the concrete. The catch was they had to do it naked and, yes, it had to "penetrate." Very sick people.

[bajacalal]

I really hope you meant "Dr. Pepper and diarrea medicine"
:puke:

[Darky]

I concur...

[rock rash]

Last summer I bit the head off a live fish for a six pack of soda

Then I ate a fish eyeball for another six.

[rock rash]

Then there was the time that I was bet five bucks i wouldnt jump from the roof of my friend two story house, onto his trampoline, over the fence into a pool. I cracked three ribs on that fence...but i got the five bucks anyway!!!

[DDCxj]

The only thing I can think of that I've done was drinking 12 ounces of italian dressing for $10.

One of my buddies ate a gold fish out of a fish tank in my biology classroom in high school and got $10 for that. The same kid drank a cup of canola oil for $20.

[rock rash]

I ate a hand full of tube worms in biology class for 20 extra credit points

[Tom R.]

:puke:
Nope. It was a concoction of Dr Pepper and human diarherria. He was picking out small pieces from his teeth for a few minutes after drinking it.

I truly hope no one did that, and it ended as a just a challenge.

On some surgery/ER episode on discovery, there was a patient where a branch (4 feet long) penetrated the seat, and went all the way next to his heart. It missed EVERY major organ, and he was fine after some heal time...kinda.....

this was however, not from a bet...I think a car accident

I can't imagine that. _nicko_

[hologram]

Wow no one has mentioned the drinking a gallon of milk in 10 mins. That was always fun getting people to try that. :laugh3:

I like milk with ice.

[bajacalal]

That is...

AWESOME!!!


NOT awesome! Not only is that extremely disgusting and going to spread the illness but also I can't eat my dinner- I think it was beef stew...

[IH8RDS]

When I was in the dorms at Hill AFB I was bet a 6 pack that I wouldn't run around the dorms naked (pretty big dorm). I sad "for a case I'll walk". :laugh3:

I won that bet.

Same scenario for the Luxor in Vegas 11th floor, I ran that one for a case.

[davidt]

I drank a 20 oz bottle of tobacco spit for $20...grossest thing I have ever ingested.

[Tom R.]

When I was in the dorms at Hill AFB...Half of the people in my examples I mentioned above lived in those very dorms. :)

Must be a USAF thing... tht would certainly explain alot about XTrmXJ.

The AF is full of verry impressionable, verry convincable nerds.
Every once in a while, someone cool comes along and and gets them to open up.
They want so bad, to become un-nerdy, that they will do almost anything.
I can't count the number of them that I turned into raving party animals, just leading by example.
Yeah, we did some crazy shit.
We used to have races to see who could get to the third floor of the dorms first, one using the stairs, the other scaling the side.
Several of us got letters of councelling for rappelling off of the roof of the dorms.
I can't say we ever paid anyone to do anything, not when they were so willing to have new friends.
Ever see the video of the drunk guy sitting there throwing up in his beer and redrinking it?
That was one of our nerds.

I take it you would hang out with the chow hall folks or the desk jockeys. You must not know too many crew chiefs? :laugh3:

I didn't hang with many crew chiefs, but I did see many while catching naps on the flightline.
Oh, and my statement was a blanket statement.
Considering that 99% of all new recruits got their job after they enlisted, the nerds were dispersed evenly throughout.
I was in CE and hung with mostly contruction types like myself.
The biggest concentration of nerds was in the Comm Squadrons.
At parties, they just didn't quite know what to do.
