You find a suitcase full of money: Keep it or turn it in?


/me not telling :deviate:
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you,

I've already returned plenty of missing wallets. However, an entire suitcase elevates the dilemma to a whole new level.

I think I'd have to return it ... unless it was clearly a screwup by an armored car company doing a bank to bank transfer, and that the bills were real (not counterfeit), used and non-sequential (not trackable). Such things are usually insured, and wouldn't pose a catastrophic hardship on a small business or a private person ... and in that lone circumstance, I might actually be somewhat tempted for a while. Call me stupid, but even in that tempting dilemma, I think there'd be atleast a 75% chance I'd still return it. :slap: :crazy:

Hey, I could always describe the terrible temptation afterwards in the inevitable good samaritan interview with the local press ... some company or wealthy individual would probably be impressed enough by my scruples to hire me to a cushy job. Hey, if I were a well to do person or corporation, those are the kind of people I'd periodically reward & elevate regularly. :lol: :thumb:

Coffee or Tea ? (I love both, but my body seems to prefer the latter)

I like coffee, but I love sweet tea, but only if it's really sweet....

When it comes to history, I generally prefer honest and verifiable reality (world history) to epigrammatic metaphors of questionable origin that try to pose as the former (bible history). I read the latter strictly for literary and/or philosophical value. Ok, that was a bit apolitical, so let's pretend I didn't actually say that out loud. :P

Breakfast beverage: Milk, Juice, or Other ? (call me a freak - I'm a carnivore who likes unsweetened soymilk) :crazy:

If the bread's good, I'll take toast. If it's something dreadfully bland & boring like wonderbread (ick), I'll take cereal - preferrably hot**.

Peanut butter - smooth, or super chunk ? (smooth here)

----------
** Hot cereal: if there are any homemade hot cereal addicts, feel free to stop by the tap room and start a thread ... I have recipes for things homemade kashi with fruit syrup, and I'll happily go into the finer points of various different millings of oats :)

Peanut Butter is the grossest thing, but smooth, because I'll eat it mixed with chocolate or syrup or jelly.


Jelly or Preserves?

I'll take 'h', even though you forgot to capitalize it ... not only is it part of my name, but large exponents excite my inner math junkie. :lol:

Googleplex (10**10**100) or Sigma X from 1 to infinity ?

And no, 'sigma' and 'smegma' are not the same thing. :roll:

Is it Googleplexs or googleplexi or something different?


Anyway, Googleplex.

How do you like your eggs in the morning?

fertilised or unfertilised?
