A hundred billion dollars. Then I could buy all the puppies and cars I wanted and make a huge donation to every Ivy league school in America so I could take a giant dump in each the school libraries.

Good guys may not finish last but they sure as sh*t don't finish first!

Let me give you a word of advice. Never wish for money. That's counterfitting. Wish for gold instead so you don't spend the rest of your life in jail.

reply

Lol I'm not sure there's a Zoltar machine wishing for money counterfit law in Ireland. But you're right gold might be the way to go. Money's worth stink all these days.

That might be the way to go, and on the surface of it I would agree..BUT..I see a couple of "snags". If that much gold were to suddenly come on the market, the price would go down. If you were to just as suddenly go to the bank with a duffle bag of cash they would have to report it. Either way, I'm sure it wouldnt be long before you have guys in dark suits, and NO sense of humor from the Secret service, or thr IRS show up at your door wanting to know where you got it.
Personally Id wish for the ability to win or lose at will, any contest I enter.
Lottery, casino etc. That way youd have an explanation.

Not completely true. Diamonds are no where near as rare as DeBeers would have the general populace believe, yet they sell those damned gems like they are the most precious stones in the world. They are precious only because DeBeers has a stranglehold on the market, which is what lead to blood-diamonds.

reply

Who would be stupid enough to try to cash in all that gold at once or put all the cash in a bank?
