Stop speaking for a year would be the easiest for me. I have lots of experience of not listening for many years...so not speaking seems like a sinch.

Show me the money.

Well, yeah, I know that. But what do you consider a crap ton of money?

I wouldn't, either. I might do it for a million.


But 50,000....wow, I'd love to have that right now. I could get a car and take care of some other things.

I might try the no talking for a year for a million. What with internet and texting abilities, it's possible.

Reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode. This guy was so annoying to all the old members of the Country Club. So, one old coot offered the guy a million dollars if he could go for one year without speaking. He had to stay in this enclosed area with microphones so his progress could be watched. He did it and after a year, he was let out of the enclosure. Turns out, the old coot who made the bet didn't have the money. The other guy was a bit disconcerted and pretty much SOL since it turns out, he'd had his vocal chords removed in order to win the bet. I love Twilight Zone.

Sooo....


No one wants to lick a toilet? You don't have to do it for a year...it's a one time only deal. You can take your earnings and go to the hospital for treatment for any diseases. Assuming you survive, you'll probably have enough left over to enjoy.

One million!

50 thousand wouldn't be enough...but I'd love to have that amount of money right now (after taxes, of course). Shoot, I wouldn't know what to do with a million.

Unfortunately..I have done alot worse for alot less money.
So licking a toilet would be cake.

I didnt vote either by the way. So I am not officially a toilet licker.

I would probably lick the toilet. It's the quickest by far.

I'd wear the bear suit for free, it's bloody cold in Oz right now.

Plus I'd get lots of hugs.
