€40,000 - what would you do for it?

    Just thinking about the abundance of reality TV shows which seem to be getting more and more desperate. Contestants know that when they go on, they loose all their rights and are subject to the whims of the show's producers.. all in the hope of fame, glory and a coupla grand. I'm surprised by how low people have gone recently to get onto these shows - 'Sleep with my girlfriend' 'celeb big brother' etc

    I just wanna know what would you do to get your hands on €40k. Its not a massive amount of money, but it is something that could change your life.. i.e. deposit on a house etc.

    Would you steal it if an opportunity arose? (eg a wrong bank transfer into your account)
    Would you bet for it? (eg €1000 @ 40/1)
    Would you do a game show?

    Or would you rather work and save for it?

    I would work and save (ha ha :D ) but if an opportunity arose for me to assume someone else's identity for a day - and then take their €40g's, damn straight I'd do it!

    Personally I wouldn't do anything for 40k, maybe save for it. I'd only ever humiliate myself for 1 mill+

    American Priest:How much do you earn a year

    Ted: 20K

    American Priest: You know what I do with 20K?? I wipe my a*s with 20K

    Ted: Really ?? And is that still legal tender ??

    Well I would probably bet for it or enter something like 'Who wants to be a millionaire' but I doubt I would ever go on some crappy reality show for it. I think I would do an awful lot more for a million quid. I think I could even sleep with Robert Redford for it.

    i'd suck your cock for it. i'll even wear a wig and lipstick and a dress and stuff if you want. actually, forget the money, i'll just suck you cock free of charge.

    :D Jeez the shame of it. Had a long list of what I was prepared to do, but I'm afraid I might make all these hardworkin pillars of society blush if I mentioned some of them:p

    Mmmm, €40k, Well I would save (probably because I have no 'real' choice but to save), I would go for 'X Factor' not get through to the final, but release some tacky single anyhow (cheeky girl style). Then cross my fingers and hope the money starts rolling in while I build a new identity for myself.

    i would never ever sleep with anyone on live TV
    I would never strip naked for a magazine.

    I would happily pose topless (not that I have much to look at!) or go on big brother in fact the only reason I didnt apply for big brother is that I know my family would disown me (they are not very broad minded), same with going topless.
    I would happily go on a game show, make an @rse of myself in public, pole dance and if the opportunity came up to steal it without hurting anyon eor getting caught I would gladly take it (cmon banks thieve millions more than that off us in fees every year so I would have no guilty conscience)

    I would do the x factor (not very good at singing tho!) or anything like that i would have to draw the line at the jungle thing though nothing in this world would make me eat a kangaroo testicle I just couldnt!!
