[Goreomedy]

So help me spend it.

Quick background: Tax return shows up in checking account as the figure you see. What I should have received is a little bit less.........

So I report it. Return disappears from my checking account. But then, recently, I got this check in the mail. So fuck it. If they insist!

 

[Drensch]

Write me a measly check for 30k.

 

[Dan]

Send me a piece of that and I'll help you get rid of it real fast.

 

[Ronin]

So help me spend it.

Buy Ronin a nice home theater set up.

 

[Beezy]

You should buy an Ipod for everyone on GAF who doesn't have one. Or maybe a PSP.

Edit: You can get me through college!

 

[Jason]

Have I told you how much I love you?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

use the money to build a moat around your house.

 

[xsarien]

Use some of that to keep a lawyer on retainer, eventually the twisted mess of a database will eventually unwind and someone will finally notice the error.


Also: I think it's time for you to do some shopping on GAFazon.

 

[themadcowtipper]

What the hell do you do for a living to even have a chance at that kind of mistake...


and cant you get into trouble for spending that....

 

[ronito]

My silence can be bought for a measly 50k.

 

[themadcowtipper]

use the money to build a moat around your house.

must keep the black knight at bay...

 

[Zep]

can I help spend it?

 

[Litigation Manuel]

Donate a bunch to charity. I'm sure there are still funds needed by the tsunami victims.


as for the joke post:
Hire someone to wash your testicles.

 

[themadcowtipper]

Btw I thought this thread would be about a new Nigerian Scammer....so disappointed

 

[Mike Works]

Spend it and then complain that you'd rather have your dead husband back.

 

[calder]

To be mistakenly given 4 million dollars you can't possibly spend, only to report it and have them send it to you again, would surely be one of the most depressing things that could possibly happen to someone. :lol

The only upside I could see (beyond always having an easy story to whip out when you meet someone knew) is getting to call the IRS and being casual as as can be when you report it again.

 

[Nester]

I could use 20k to get out of debt and start a down payment on getting a house. I can't give you pictures of my wife or daughter though.

 

[themadcowtipper]

I will sell you the an envelope with something secret in it....I guess I could let it go for 100 bucks, I'm not greedy..

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

Cash that bitch and run mofo.


I have some good running shoes that I'll sell for a measely two mill.

 

[RiZ III]

Help fund my college education

 

[Instigator]

And the next Morphix is born!

Time to spread the wealth, man. Dangle a PSP or something.

 

[Litigation Manuel]

I asked my dad, who is an accountant, and he said you should send it back. Once you cash it, the IRS would be able to charge interest on it. Considering that the interest on 4 million dollars could be quite large, it'd probably be best to send it back informing them of their mistake again.

Hey that is Legal advice, charge him for that shite...he has 4 mil..

 

[Goreomedy]

Hell yeah. The temptation to do just that is... oh...oh... Anyone selling an island for cheap?

And you guys can look forward to the inevitable thread, "I'm being charged $50,000 interest for an IRS mistake!"

The trick would be to find a way to earn more interest on it, while I have it, than I would be charged upon return.

 

[element]

Give me like $7000. That is all i need. CC would be paid off and my car.

 

[Willco]

Give me $800. I need to get out of this country.

 

[Chrono]

maybe if you 'know people' you could hide it in Switzerland, then get a new passport and get the hell out of the country.

 

[Warm Machine]

If YOU made a mistake they would rail you for it. If they make a mistake they expect courtesy.

 

[Goreomedy]

Give me $800. I need to get out of this country.

Find us an island, and you can be the first official resident of NewGAFland. But not that LOST island. I aint spending 4 million for broken ladders and fart monsters.

 

[Warm Machine]

Actually you could probably get it cashed...take the duffel bag to Cuba and then launder it there. No way the US govt is going to search for their money in Cuba. The moment it gets over there they completely lose track of it.

 

[themadcowtipper]

That is still the best bargain ..I mean it is a mystery envelope, anything could be in it even, $4 million dollars

 

[Willco]

There are actual islands you can buy, but my guess is it'd be for about ten times that amount, but you could probably use the four million to get a loan and buy the island. In all seriousness.

 

[aoi tsuki]

Old Swiss bank accounts ain't what they used to be, i'm afraid.

 

[Warm Machine]

This one is 1.25mil

[Late Stage Marxist]

Can I interest you in a copy of

 

[Willco]

Fuck that!

Leaf Cay 1
Exumas, 40-45 acres, USD 3,040,000

Buy that one!

 

[Warm Machine]

I thought he might want some $$$ left over to buy the fortress that goes on it.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

You live in Austin! I can help you get across the border. Cash that bitch and we'll run to the Greyhound bus station together. We'll leave a trail of broken hearts and cervixes along the way. We need to get to Mexico first, then we'll disappear in South America.That is one huge mistake...your only option is to run now.

Can you imagine if you would have done a direct deposit on that? You would have 3 million in your bank account right now.

 

[pollo]

id donate all of it to charity and see what happens
or id give it back =X

 

[Willco]

OKAY, CHECK IT

Goat Cay

96 acres

US $725,000

Private Islands Bahamas

A beautiful private island with great views and elevations up to 40 feet in the centre of the island. This Cay is also known as Big Bullard Cay or Mrs. Bullard's Goat Cay. The Cay is situated on the southwestern coast of Great Exuma. (Text continued under advert.)

 

[Warm Machine]

I wonder how much a personal army would cost?

An island with a hollowed out volcano would be sweet.

 

[Escape Goat]

I'd love to build my house on top of the ancient native burial ground. I'd bulldoze the swamp riddled with malaria carrying mosquitos and build the tennis court. Then I'd build a 40ft wall around the isalnd to protect me from the tidal waves.

 

[Goreomedy]

I'm leaning towards the Snake Eater Gator Hat Island, Willco.

 

[pollo]

omg A GAF island you dont say?
could be the starting point for the GAF political platform

!!!

its destiny that 4 mil has fallen in your hands sir, it gives us enough capital to start the GAF revolution discussed.

 

[themadcowtipper]

I 'm sure you can get the Bikini Islands, on the cheap...

 

[Willco]

CHECK OUT THESE...

Puerco Island, Roxas, Palawan,
approx. 14.53 acres, USD 1,000,000

Ilha Do Almeida, near Angra Dos Reis, 12,6 acres,
EUR 2,250,000 + purchase fees

 

[ShadowRed]

Don't deposit it get it all in cash.

 

[Willco]

:lol

It'd be so great if Goreomedy bought an island for real. I'd move just to be the island cook and/or mayor!

 

[suaveric]

With global warming, it may not be in your best interest to buy an island. But I do like the idea of cashing it and making more money than the goverment would eventually change you in interest. You obviously want the lowest risk possible for such an investment. Are CDs a higher interest rate than what the Fed would charge?
