For One Million Dollars...

So, we no longer debate what you are, now we only haggle price.

Old Groucho joke/story from "You Bet Your Life"?

Old Groucho joke/story from "You Bet Your Life"?

Actually, a story from Winston Churchill. He propositioned a young lady, asking if she would "accompany" him for one million pounds. For that sum, she said, she would. He then asked her if she would do it for ten pounds.

"Ten pounds?!?" She exclaimed. "I'm not that kind of woman!!"

"Madam," he replied, "we determined that you are with your first answer. Now we're just haggling over price."

I wouldn't give up my spleen for $1M but for a mere $100k, I'd give up EarlJams!

First of all, there are no "EarlJams." There is only ONE EarlJam.

As for giving me up for a mere $100k, well, you can burn in......wait. It would take $100,000 for you, a total stranger, to give me, EarlJam, up?

Well spank my arse and color me flattered!

Thanks!

Then theres this one with Lady Astor...

Lady Astor: "Winston, if I were your wife I'd put poison in your coffee."
Winston: "Nancy, if I were your husband I'd drink it."

Then theres this one with Lady Astor...

Lady Astor: "Winston, if I were your wife I'd put poison in your coffee."
Winston: "Nancy, if I were your husband I'd drink it."

...and the lady who said to Winston "Sir, you're drunk!"
to which he replied "Madame, you're ugly, but tomorrow I will wake up sober."

Churchill was good friends with George Bernard Shaw. Shaw had a play opening, and he sent a courrier over to Churchill with a note that said:

"Enclosed please find two tickets, third row center, for opening night. Please bring a friend -- if you have one."

Churchill wrote back: "Thank you for the offer, but unfortunately I cannot attend that night. Please send two tickets, same seats, for your second performance -- if you have one."

Clearly, ol' Winston was the Chuck Norris or Patrick Davidson of pithy retorts. I'm partial to this (almost definitely apocryphal) urinal-centric story.

Clearly there is an arbitrage opportunity here. Post an ad at grad schools offering $200 for human spleens, cash those in for $1MM, and you're $999,800 (per spleen you purchase) richer AND you keep your spleen.

Make me an offer in Euro's and THEN we'll talk.
