Well, sure...heck for $500USD, I'd let you staple the latest AOL CD I received
to your dick - I have no plans to use either item. But would the 15 mil include
the cutting it off it'd take to accomplish that little de Sadian fantasy?

Even so, the story doesn't diminish what he's done at all in my mind. I know
from experience (and I bet Frank will agree) that when my back is out, WAY
out, the spasms are so bad that an offer of an outlandish amount of money
(in my terms, thousands of dollars) MIGHT get me off the floor, but to then
go out and do something physical at a level beyond that of almost anyone I
know...forget it! Even dangling millions would not make the spasms go away,
or make it any less impossible for me to do certain things.

Sure, I can say "for $15 mil, I'd pitch the World Series on an ankle that
has had the skin stapled to the meat in such a way, never before done, that
a torn tendon sheath won't pop out as I hurl 90mph fastballs down the pike
at heavyweight Major League players in front of 150 million people who have
their lives and hearts staked on the outcome of the game." But in reality,
no I couldn't muster the physical power or the will power to do it for any
amount of money. I might agree to TRY, but I wouldn't come through. No way.

I wonder if someone really offered you $15 mil to staple your dick to
your left knee, what you would really say?? All hyperbole aside, because
for Kurt, all hyperbole really IS aside. We forget that this isn't a movie;
we're watching some guy in the BIG spotlight doing something on a scale that
I doubt any of us have ever been asked to do, in real life. Ever.

I'm gonna need a bottle of Laphroaig, a gram of blow, enough
Novacaine to stun an elephant and a sterilized staple remover.
And I'll need confirmation from my off-shore bank before you
start. ;-)
