You get $10 million but once every year Randy Johnson in his prime hunts you down and throws a baseball at you. Would you take the deal?

I'm down. No head shots, and I'm pretty chubby, so that doesn't sound like that bad a deal. I keep replying that poor bird in my head, and I am totally still in. Can I request that it be sooner rather than later every year, so I can grow that 5M?

Haha poor bird 😅 and it’s $10m lump sum one time payment

He’s 57 now. So yeah, I’ll take that money because he’s probably throwing like a little leaguer at this point. Also he will be dead before I am unable to take the hit any longer. Safe withdrawal rate on $10MM is $400k/yr. Sign. Me. Up.

"in his prime" implies a state of suspended animation where he is constantly in 95-97 shape.

I would do it if I knew when Randy was showing up, and would be willing to make it an event. The anxiety of looking over my shoulder all year would kill me.

With a portion of the $10MM, you could bribe someone that manufacturers his baseballs to make something foam filled, or similar. 💡

Or you could just bribe him to throw it at you January 1st every year. While you wear lots of padding

Is it $10m annual, or a one-time lump sum?

Yeah you can wear something every day to protect yourself. The thing is you don’t know when he’s coming for you lol it could be when you’re going outside to take the trash out late at night least expecting it. 

funny

Rest of my life? Not worth it with the medical bills.. unless you're allowed to hunt him back?? 😏

Well if he can’t hit you in the head - that’s a no brainer. Shoulda started off with that

like

Where does this baseball hit me?

Just pay a catcher to be near you at all times, problem solved

Is it from a regulation 60 ft 6 inch distance or point blank?

It really depends on how fast you can run. Chances are you will spot him right before he’s about to throw so the distance is determined by how fast you can run at the end of the day.

likefunny

That’s a no for me

Thank you for that. Yeah you make a good point. Honestly there could be years you go by without getting hit because you get so good at sensing danger. But all in all it is debatable whether or not it’s worth it.

Who is Randy Johnson?

I’d do it and then get him charged with assault after the first hit/file a restraining order

Assume that you taking the deal means consent and gets him off the hook.

Should I relocate for effectively the same base pay but more expensive city? Is it likely I'll get promoted to L5 eventually?

So I’ve been talking to this guy I met on a dating app. And we’ve been talking over the phone and FaceTiming for about a month now. We live in different states but would want to meet up. Is it reasonable to ask if he’s talking to other women? Or is that pretty standard with these dating apps to be talking to multiple people until you both decide to be exclusive. Just wondering if it makes sense to ask that now or I’m probably just overthinking the whole thing.

We met soon after the trip in person and talked it out to which I apologized deeply for my behavior. She is also my MOH and it is now time to plan my Bach trip
