Profound Pet Question of the Day - What would you do?

[LynneSin]

A random stranger has offered you a suitcase filled with $10 million dollars in case - all tax free and all legal. In return he asks that he can take one of your pets from you forever. If you accept this stranger's offer you would not ever be able to see that pet again nor could you spend any amount of dollar to track down your pet or the stranger who took the pet. Also, you will not be given any reason whatsoever as to why the pet is needed - they could be giving the pet to a family member who would love & cherish your pet forever or it could be a mad-scientist looking to make a pet centipede out of random pets they buy - it is something that no amount of money would ever allow you to find out. Finally, if you have more than 1 pet it would be totally random as to which pet is taken.

Would you take the money in exchange for your pet?

1. Borrow a neighbor's pet

[bluesbassman]

2. I call my wife "Pet" sometimes...

[ohiosmith]

3. Damn straight.

Just like you'd kill those kitties for a measly $1 million.

[LynneSin]

4. wonderful, the first 2 replies I get are from Beavis and Butthead

[taterguy]

5. Heh, heh, heh

[LynneSin]

6. you don't come near my pets...

if anyone is to profit off of them it should be me!

[bluesbassman]

7. **snicker**

[LynneSin]

8. why are you snickering -you're butthead

and would be happy to put your wife in a pet centipede made with purchased animals

[OffWithTheirHeads]

9. Oh fuck, is that Nigerian prince

emailing me again?

[siligut]

10. Kill the stranger

Fuck with me that way and die.

[petronius]

11. The worst possible outcome would be that it really was a plan to build

a 'pet centipede', but I would never get to see it...

So, to avoid even the slim risk of missing such an awesome spectacle, I would say "No."

(And now I'm off to try and make a petipede - do you think duck tape would be the appropriate connective tissue?)

[HopeHoops]

12. No fucking way. Pets are for life - they're family.

[LynneSin]

13. What if doing this would ensure that no other pets would go homeless or be harmed

outside the possiblity that your pet could be, but we would never know.

[HopeHoops]

14. I'd love for that to be the case, but when you accept a pet into your life it is FOR life.

[LynneSin]

16. What if doing this would remove 20 right-wing talking head screed from existance...

in a way that they never existed on this planet and therefore never spewed any of their ideology anywhere?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

23. If they never existed, How would I know they're gone?

but, hey, look at this suitcase full of money. Where'd that come from?

And where's that damn cat?

[HopeHoops]

28. Still no.

[LynneSin]

29. What if doing so would end all wars immediately and bring everlasting world peace?

Just curious!

[HopeHoops]

31. Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my ass.

No. For such a grand question, replace "pet" with "child". Most would say no to child, perhaps fewer for pet, but still no.

And as for everlasting world peace - see monkey reference.

[LynneSin]

32. What if Monkeys would fly out of your ass?

Just saying?

[HopeHoops]

33. PREPARATION-H - STAT!

[wysimdnwyg]

15. Hell yes!

I've got a dozen fish I could easily hand over. They're going to die in my fish tank anyway....

[PassingFair]

17. Is the pet a hamster?

Then yes.

Where do I sign?

[LynneSin]

18. If you have more than 1 pet then it would be randomly selected

else if the only pet you have is a hamster then it would be taken.

[PassingFair]

19. Too risky then...I'm out.

They can't have my Corgi.

Even though she's driving me crazy with her barking lately.

[LynneSin]

20. What if doing this would ensure that no child in the world would ever go to be hungry?

Would you do it then?

[PassingFair]

21. Is the dog barking while you make your offer?

I can envision my neighbor handing her over the fence for 5 bucks.

(And yes, I would hand barking dog over if it meant that no human
child would EVER go hungry EVER again.)

[LeftinOH]

22. There are very few things I would NOT do for 10 million bucks. n/t

[LynneSin]

24. What if the stranger asked you to walk around totally naked for an entire month

Would you do that?

[LeftinOH]

25. Without stipulating where to do it... yes.

[LynneSin]

26. Would you give up one of your children for $10million

What about that

[Ikonoklast]

27. In a heartbeat.

First, I'd have to adopt taterguy though.

[LeftinOH]

30. I don't have any, but I could 'sacrifice' via a sperm donation. N/T
