I would hope to be as virtuous as Lancer but if ol' averice jumps on my head, I would either:

a) Check with my stockbroker and find undervalued American stocks. While the current downturn is worldwide, I believe the American economy will be the first to pick up and will pull the rest of the world behind it (as we buy more stuff). By buying American stocks, I will be putting my money in where the recovery will first occur.

b) Find some successful mom-&-pop restaurant capible of being franchised and buy out the owners. Restaurants are always hit hard during recessions. If one has survived in this economy, it must be a good one. And if its franchisable, once the economy picks up, its plan for success can be endlessly repeated. Why be a mere billionaire, when you can be a double billionaire?

Now I got it.. I'd throw the BEST party EVER! Only to my friends though. I'd pair them up and give them maps and hints, like treasure map. It would take almost a week to find the party place, they'd have to travel all around the world, expenses on me. Everytime they reach another check point, they'd get new instructions. But it would be fun to do, search and travel. They'd have to do things like scuba diving, sky diving, get horribly drunk, go to famous places.. etc in order to get new clues. It would be cool, because I'd be able to put up really good stuff for them. And every pair would have different things, countries and things to do! So after it's over, they could exchange stories and experiences. And when they reach the final destination.. the BEST party of all times is waiting them and goes 24/7 for 3 straight days.

Your all so boring and practical. The question is what would you do if you had ten large to blow on anything; preferably don't have, need, or want.

I'd build a gutter/curb a mile long out of the purest gold, and.... kick all my enemies in it!!

or...

buy airtime on NBC and explain to the public why they should vote for me in the upcoming election, and then withdraw one week before the voting...

If I have another 10 million, I'd use it to build schools in poor rural areas in China.

[Pekka]

No wait a minute! I'd buy lifetime VIP pass to Hefners PLAYBOY MANSION! YESSSSS!

[Az]

loser.

[Japher]

loser.

Yeah, that Urban Ranger just doesn't have a clue

Pekka, on the other hand

[Az]

!!! I knew I had to make this joke myself, or someone else would!


No hard feelings, pekka.

[Pekka]

Yeah, you want to be my friend.. I might throw the best party ever!

My regular joke is when everyone asks what are my goals.. I answer 'to make million dollars and get to party in playboy mansion'..

[Lazerus]

Why get a VIP pass to the playboy mansion when you could just buy a mail-order bride or 30 ? (mmmm what shall we all do tonight? )

[Pekka]

Well I wasn't looking for sex in that mansion.. just cool parties with playmates and stuff.. and to smoke cigars with mr Hefner, my personal hero.

Or I could hire a small group of elite mercs to give me intel info on Saddam/Osama, take my sniper rifle and spend a day in nice ambush.

Or then I'd just invest it all in guns. Build a nice gun room and get lots of massive guns, assault rifles and stuff.

[Az]

for 10Mill, An assault chopper is a great investment. Esp, since it's better than a tank. many of them can be flown by a single pilot, and you just don't get this in a tank.

[Pekka]

You can get assault chopper for 10 million bucks?
