Would you have your spleen removed and donated to science for various important medical research projects?

The One Million would be tax free.

Yes.

Is this an offer that you personally are putting up?? :D

For a million bucks I'd give it up even if it weren't used for scientific research.

Heck, there isn't much I'd refuse to do for a million dollars.

For 3 million dollars I'd get you 4 spleens... none of which would be my own..
(they may not even be human...)

By the title, I assumed you were using this thread to make an indecent proposal to Wilson.

For a million dollars I'd more than likely give my spleen, appendix, both tonsils, and a testicle. I might even throw in half a liver and a kidney.

I'm a man of principle and would scoff at such an offer. I would consider $2M however.

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

For that price I'd get four human ones - none of which would have to be my own.

Trust me, depending on the off/situation I could probably be had for a lot less.

Dude, I'm in grad school. I'd do indecent things for about 200 bucks.

You and me both. It would cost more to get me to do decent things though.

I'd do it for a Klondike bar.

I refuse to haggle as a matter of principle. $2M it must be. And it's obvious what I am; I am a person with a spleen.

Hey now!!
Me and EarlJam are working out a deal.

Dont make me have to talk to my lawyers about a tampering suit... Otherwise I'll have to take steps to insure one of the spleens is yours!





(Im just making noise. This is in jest. This is in no way an actual threat.. Just so you know that if you wake up in a bathtub full of ice.. I had NOTHING to do with it..)

(Again a joke.. I cant stop myself today)

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! :D

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! :D

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."

...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 (http://www.icbe.org/blog/?p=231).

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.
