Either way, I probably wouldn't take the deal. I don't even spend all of what little money I make now... although never having to worry about financial stability would be nice too. | ||

Besides if only you can see that person you probably are schizophrenic, right? Then if you imagine the person you probably would imagine the money too. So... no. Bad deal written all over it. | ||

Would have unlimited money and everything you want be worth the physical discomfort Taking this question in principle as you suggest, I probably wouldn't do it. However, speaking practically, your balls would quickly desensitize to these kicks and it wouldn't be so bad after the first month or so. Under this realistic assumption I would take the money. I do, however, think that labeling these questions as "money vs happiness" is misleading as money does buy some degree of happiness. It's more a gauge of how deeply you believe unlimited money would improve your life and make you happy. | ||

Though it would severely hamper my chances at being successful at anything since a crotch-kick interrupt can seriously destroy anyone's game, be it with women, sports, research, what-have-you. I certainly wouldn't place in any game tournaments if I got crotch-kicked-out constantly. Still, the sheer amount of money opens doors that would be inaccessible normally. | ||

If you get the $500million up front, it's a really easy decision, because the rest of your life you can spend having so much fun that it easily outweighs the inconvenience of the ball-kicking, which you would probably get used to after a few years. I don't you ever get used to getting kicked in the balls. | ||

With the random kicking in the balls you would not be able to drive a car until after you had your three kicks. It would mean your would have to live your life not being able to do anything dangerous : ( And that would kinda suck But if there was a condition that it would not put me in mortal danger i would do it. I could get used to it as bad as that sounds and I would pay for lessons from Shaloin monks on how to draw my balls back in my body at all times :D lololol | ||

I'd be a White Knight if I'd donate 100% of the money, but alas I wouldn't take the whole sum simply because I am too afraid of the consequences for MY life, not because I implicitly want to help poor people. Not really the concept of a White Knight, right? Though I'd love to be seen as a real White Knight, I unfortunately am not  | ||

I'm truly amazed by how many people said no. I had a high school friend, sort of, that was my ball-tap rival. Every moment we could, we'd kick each other in the balls or just fist each other in the balls. We even had gym class together. While the smelly jocks played and the nerds had fun, we were strategically planning the next moment to smash our fist into one another's pelvic pillows. And every single night I had to check to make sure I wasn't sterile. It makes me happy to imagine he did too, at the same time. Like we were in the bathroom together looking out the window at the full moon just reminiscing about the pain our balls felt that day in harmony. And in unison, we stroked for the sole purpose of making sure we could reach fatherhood. He eventually accomplished great things with his balls. He became a ladies man, has a job, attends college. Uses his balls often I assume. I'm stuck in my house using them in accordance to inappropriate things and tissues. Oh, how stray similar lives can become. | ||

Hell, marriage is already two kicks a day. This is a really easy bullet to bite. | ||
