So what is a penis worth? How does one value it? It won't keep him from working and earning a living, unless he goes psycho, which could happen to him. But is a penis worth more than an arm? a leg? a foot? a hand? All in all what is the most valuable body part?

I like to look at the other question: What is that money worth?

Everything he buys from it will remember him every day how he payed for it.

Sure he is going to get happy again. In ten years maybe, the money run away from him (It is pretty normal that people who get a fortune at once are not able to keep it)

And if then he looks down, he can ask; "Where is my money?"

How true.

In Winnipeg (not far from me) about 12 years ago a woman, who was on welfare with three children, won the Lotto 6-49. She came away with something like 2-3 million dollars (and winnings in Canada are completely non-taxable; you get everything you win, here).

Not even 3 years later, guess what. She was applying for welfare again! She had bought cars, vehicles, a cabin, etc etc, with never a thought as to the cost of UPKEEP on the things. They were all gone, sold off, after three years, and she had nothing.

How pathetic is that.

Canadians generally do better with winnings; I read an article recently that said 80% of lottery winners in Canada who win more than 1 million save the majority of it and spend only a portion on big-ticket items. For the most part, we are pretty conservative. That's partially because the Lotteries Corporation, the people you get your check from when you win, have a very good set-up for such people; when you go get your check, if it's a substantial amount, you are subjected to pretty much a full day of 'activities', which include meetings with bank officials and financial consultants. You are required to meet these people before you leave the builiding. It's a great system. (No, sadly, I don't know this from experience; only a friend who works there, so no asking me for 10,000 bucks to help you pay off your SUV!)

Let's not knock the SUV now...if you consider the Ford Sport Trac an SUV...

Actually I did not know that. I'd always planned on seeing such people before going down to cash the ticket in, get everything planned out ahead of time.

How true.

10.000 bucks is not enough. I need about 40.000 (vietnam dong) each day,

to send one more young boy (the one with the malformed feet) to a private school. I am not asking, I will deliver more newspapers.

I only want to ask.....if you ever have the money for that SUV, please buy a nice small car and find you some people who need you

Yoli here,

I feel for the poor guy who's lost his peepee through some freakish medical mishap. That's a terrible thing though I can only sympathize rather than empathize, what with being a girl puppy at birth.

On a not-so-related note: I guess both our Hummer (the BIG one, Army-style but with amenities,) the Tahoe 4WD I tow the bassboat with, and BG's firebreathing vintage Corvette are "not in vogue" at the moment. Please remember, however, that they are not every-day drivers and the Hummer and Tahoe are well-suited to their roles. The Hummer is used on the ranches and only when needed to support the hunting efforts in rugged terrain and the "Ho" is THE ideal vehicle for towing a 20+foot bassboat or toting stuff to the coastal cabin. Occasionally, the Hummer goes to the coast when we're anticipating entering the more remote parts of the barrier islands and getting stuck would be inconvenient, to say the least.

Also, on several occasions, the Hummer has rescued others in distress. I hope that earns it some respect.
