For $10,000 (tax free) would you be willing to get a paper cut everyday for one year? You never know when or how it would happen but each day you would be a paper cut. It could be anywhere on the body.

Discuss.

    Id say no, but only because of the last part of that,
    ANYWHERE on the body,
    no naughty bits cuts.

    $10,000 once for the whole year but a paper cut everyday? Hmm. I really hate papercuts. But on the other hand, if you get one everyday, you might start getting used to them and they will start to not hurt as bad.

    I would probably say no. Few things annoy me more than a papercut....and every single day?? And each one would sting for more than a day..........so you are basically one big papercut! OUCH!!
  • I would be perrfectly okay with that!! haha. pretty desperate huh?:ohwell:

    Oh no I would totally have to pass on that one, I know I would love to have the money but I don't think I could do it, It kills me when I get one at work and when I don't mean to do it. I have one on my finger and hurts like h*** and I just cried when I did it. :sad:

    So no for me. :laugh:

    If it is one cut a day that is approximately $28 a cut. If it got infected then it would cost more than that to take care of it. Even if it did not get infected I would need more money than that to take a cut a day. So I say no way :noway:

    Maybe but the fact that they come at random times and on different parts of your body would probably keep anyone from getting used to them.

    Would they happen randomly but only when dealing with paper? Because then I'd only work with paper for a couple minutes so I'd know when to expect it.

    I agree with the no naughty parts. That'd hurt. How about it can be limited to no parts that can be covered with a bathing suit?

    Mornin', Max.

    Matter of fact, quite a few years ago I worked in a paper factory. Try to avoid them as much as possible but you still end the day with a new paper cut. What you really want to avoid is the cuts that came from posterboard or card board! :noway:

    If I recall correctly, $10,000 is right about what I got per year. :laugh: :laugh:

    I'd have to say no, cause after the first few, the antcipation of when and where would drive me nuts! So then I'd need medical attention for my mental well being!

    I get a damn papercut every day anyway:grumble: Might as well get paid for it :bigsmile: :drinker: Show me the money:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Oh....anywhere????? Hmmmmmm.....oh well go for it:bigsmile: My dog gave me a black eye last week and he scratched my face and arm last night when I was playing with him. So if I can wrestle with a 115 lb. rottweiler every day and get papercuts at work...I can handle it. I'm pretty pain tolerant :laugh: It's the tom-girl in me :bigsmile:

    As far as infections......A tube of neosporin is not too expensive :tongue: And soap and water work wonders :bigsmile: :laugh: :smokin:

    Show me da MONEY!!! :drinker: :drinker: (sorry we're goin through tough times now as long as its not something that is self degrating or morally wrong......:ohwell: :bigsmile: :laugh: )

    Yes, paper only (or a form of paper, like cardboard, etc). And yes, we can limit it to parts not covered by a bathing suit.

    Then I'm in.
  • I'm in too! Papercuts vs $10,000? Easy! :laugh:

    Ok, I don't know what some of you are doing with paper :laugh: but I am pretty sure I wouldn't have to worry about paper cuts on my naughty bits.

    However, working in an office, I have had some pretty bad paper cuts that take a long time to heal. 10K would be great, but I think the anticipation of the cuts would stress me out so much that between wages lost due to time off because of mental stress and buying medical supplies to treat the wounds, the expense of these cuts is more than 10K!

    Great question by the way!:wink:

    I get one just about every day.
    I make more than $10,000.
    So for an extra $10,000 a year, to know I'd still get a papercut every day....
    Sure.

    So did I Shannon. :huh:
  • Max, seriously, where do you come up with this stuff? :laugh:
    I'm going to pass on this one. I HATE paper cuts, and $10,000 just isn't enough for me to walk around for one year wondering when and where I would get the nexr one. Reminds me of the *kitten* movie...wasn't that where they gave the guy paper cuts on the webbing between his fingers and toes? OUCH!
