Say I gave you $100. You don't have to do anything to earn it, just giving you the money for the hell of it.

What would you do with that $100?

2. I'd peel off a 20 for each of my boys....

Then I'd give the missus one too, and I'd spend the remaining $40 on a good bottle of bourbon and a nice cigar.

9. I would do one of two things
I would maybe go out and get $100 worth of food and take it to the shelter so the people there can have some good nourishment, and a little bit of joy. Being this close to Christmas I think it would be nice to share with others that are less fortunate than I. Maybe buy some toys and take them to the little children who might not be having a celebration for the holidays.

Or I would buy $100 in beer and get shit-faced.

One or the other.

10. How about giving $50 worth of food to the shelter
and using the other $50 to buy yourself a great bottle of Scotch to get shitfaced

You'll have the best of both worlds!

18. I'm glad someone else is thinking my way...
Although I have a policy of "tithing" 10% of all "found money" to a good cause (and sadly, Tanqueray does not qualify)
