Settling a bet: Hearing vs Money

[scpi10]

I'll take the $20 million with the hopes they figure out a way through surgery to get it back.

Can I change my answer? I just realized if I lost my hearing the voices in my head would get louder.

[mmbt0ne]

As someone who's already basically deaf in one ear, hell no. In fact, I would give up a lot of money just to get stereo hearing back.

[Yobz]

Not 20mil. But 20b I would give it up easy. My sweet spot is prob in the 1b+ range...

[billygrippo]

take 20 mil, get a hearing aide

[ebepse]

id take it then find some degen who would take 10 million to surgically transfer his ears to me.

prop bet?

Let's go $100K that I will not give up my hearing for whatever amount!

BTW, I am dead serious about this.. money is just not that important IMO compared to my sight or hearing....

Someone has your entire family locked in a room with a bomb. The only way to get them out alive is for you to take $20 million dollars and give up your hearing.

I win. Or do you let your family die so you can hear at their mass funeral?

I accept Paypal for the $100K

This seems perfectly within the confines of the bet. I guess he owes you 100k.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah that's kind of what I was figuring too. (We'll see if he goes for it)

qft you owe him 100k

pay that man his money

OP here:

I really don't see how anybody would give up hearing for any amount of money. I'm surprised money means that much to people here. I mean we only live once. Why not keep all the natural abilities that are given to us by birth. A small part of me also thinks I will be a multi-millonare too one day, though I'm not even close now.

I actually don't even think I would give up one of my toes for any amount of money.

in short, money can't necesarily buy happiness, whereas spoken language and music can bring happiness. who cares if ur rich but u can't even enjoy a night out at a movie? or go to the beach and listen to the waves at night? or bang a hot chick and hear her moan? etc.
