    Strange Conversation at Work

    So The Wah, one of my coworkers, just asked this question at work.

    The Wah: "So, Jay, would you do it, if at the end of the week, you'd be paid $3500, you could eat nothing but pizza."

    J2K: "$3500? Only $3500? No."

    The Wah: "Your favorite pizza. From your favorite pizza spot. For a week."

    J2K: "For only $3500? Not worth it. I'd get sick of it after day three."

    The Wah: "All right."

    J2K: "Add a zero to the end of that. $35,000. Then maybe I'd do it."

    The Wah: "Ha ha ha."

    J2K: "Don't lowball me, man, make it worth the blow to my health."

    As long as getting different pizzas over the course of the week is OK, I could probably do it, and $3500 would be well over a month of living expenses for me, so I'd certainly want the money.

      I'd do it in a heartbeat. Pizza? Sure. Any pizza you could name. Even if I had to repeat myself. Even pepperoni pizza, which I'm not huge on. Even supreme pizza with black olives, which I hate but can either be picked off of aren't that horrible surrounded by all the other stuff in a supreme.

      To paraphrase an amusing t-shift my friend has, $3500 is $3500!

        For just a week? Your health wouldn't suffer that badly, for most folks, especially if you got something with veggies on it. I'd supplement it by drinking juice for my fruit. Seems like easy money to me.

        Hell, I went a year without TV for $1000 as a teenager.

          I'd eat pizza for every meal, every day for a month for that much money. Hell, if it were an ongoing deal, I'd eat it year-round and quit my job.

            If I could control what went on (and in) it? Sure. Fresh ingredients, wholegrain or wholemeal dough, not too much oil, plenty of veggies, not too much cheese. I'd require the right amount of fruits, however, so probably some culinary-vegetables/botanical fruits in among the mix.

            3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
            4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

              I believe tomatoes and green (bell) peppers are fairly common pizza toppings - and tomato sauce is standard.

                I'd eat frozen Ellio's and Celeste pizza for a week for $3500. Not even a question.

                  Black olives aka little black washers...

                  Yeah, I'd do it. Pepperoni one day, mushroom & sausage another, plain cheese...there are enough variations that it wouldn't be that boring. Hell, there's a chain of pizza places that claims to have over 75 varieties. It could work.

                    How about pineapple pieces?

                    Honestly my favorite topping on pizza aside from sausage

                      Not sure if I'm easy or if it's just a sign of how cast iron my digestive system can be, but for $3500 I'd eat frozen pizzas with the cardboard-like crust and be happy about it.

                      Hell, I'd probably eat pizza with actual cardboard for the crust for a week for $3500.

                        As long as I had free rein on what went on the pizza I'd do it.

                            3500 for pizza for a week? Piece of cake.

                            Now if it was for a month, that would probably need another zero for me to consider.

                              Sadly during a bout of depression I did have pizza for a month. Most expensive month for food I have ever had.
