Would definitely be the wrong note

The aorta is going to be close so probably not a dead center shot

Medute

Then you picked someone with bad aim.

Yes. That would set my loved ones up for generations. I'd take my chances.

I bet they'd waste it pretty quick. Easy come easy go

Heck...my wife would probably pull the trigger.

It is unlikely that you die based on the stipulations

You can kill yourself after. If you can’t do that, then you have to live

Medute

1/26/23 5:10pm

ok. then I'd take $5M off the top to have a hitman snipe me right after the check clears

The odds favor death or a quality of life not worth living.

So superkid, youre telling me even if you were guaranteed a full recovery you

I don't want to brag, but my kids would rather have me than an incremental $100MM

Yeah - I'm not going to ask my kids about that.

The bullet would bounce off my washboard abs so 100% I would

What caliber handgun? I've been shot in the back and had to have surgery because it hit me in the colon, appendix, etc.

$100 million and a cool scar? What's the down side here?

A friend from high school was killed letting his friend shoot him

Do medical expenses come out of the $100M? 😉

Eddie

1/26/23 4:57pm

Nope. Unless I could ensure it is a glancing blow. I don’t want any injuries
