2. Absolutely not
I'm almost sick thinking about it. I've thrown up describing something I saw on television. I could not drink toilet water.

3. Yes! I Have A Price For Anything That Will Not Kill Or Permanently Injure

me. It is usually not that high. Prank Monkeyism is wildly underrated. Once had a party where we paid a guy to try a rum Enema. Now that guy was a prank monkey!

4. I'm with Yivvers on this.
If it makes me sick thinking about it, I don't think I could actually do it.

11. I can't chug
It'd be spread out.
And yes, I'd drink it. 1000 bucks? Fuck yes.

6. in a skinny minute....
I'm the only one who uses that toilet, so any germs in it came from inside me anyway, and besides, it's clean.

7. I'm practical, as well as not proud.
Edited on Sun May-29-05 09:59 PM by carpetbagger
I own dogs. If I was going to get something transmissible by drinking water out of my toilets, I'd have probably gotten it by now via their slobbery greetings. :puke:

If you've got the $1000, I've got the cipro.:beer: :puke:

15. I wouldn't be someone's monkey like that for a MILLION dollars.
Really. A thousand bucks is all your human dignity is worth?

19. Probably not, but it won't hurt a person.
Here's a little story for you.

When I was two, I went up to my dad while he was watching a Vikings game and asked him if he wanted a glass of water. He said sure, so I went and got him one. He thanked me, drank it, and gave the glass back to me. I asked him if I could get him more water. Still intent on his football game, he said yes. I went and got more.

This went on three or four more times until it dawned on Dad that I wasn't tall enough to reach the sink.

20. The above college students
make me fear for the future.

Sorry, guys. I just never thought we'd get that stupid and greedy.

22. I'd be more worried
about those chemicals in that blue stuff that goes in toilets...

Even without the blue stuff, I'd have to say no.

For a million dollars...Now that's a different story (hell even a hundred thousand).

23. Not for $1000.
I figure I could get sick resulting in a gastro-intestinal illness and the cost of missing work (I can't get paid time off for another 2 months even though I have a week and a half of vacation accumulated already), so $1000 just isn't enough for my comfort level. Add another zero and if it's my toilet that I just cleaned that no one has used, then yep.

24. I would, and I just earned a doctorate in microbiology and immunology...
Edited on Mon May-30-05 02:43 AM by giant_robot
...is it gross? Absolutely! Can I get sick? Possibly, but given that only I and my housemate use that particular commode, I think it's unlikely. Am I serious? I've got a fresh battery in my digital camera -- take up a collection!

edited because even a Ph.D can't help you when posting while drunk

25. probably, pee is sterile, and if the other stuff came out of me, it
probably won't make me sick. But I think 5000 is more in the price range for my dignity.

26. How much? Considering what the risk of death would be
from god-knows-what is growing in there, (and I clean my toilet tri-weekly) any tiny piece of which could be completely resistant to the best anti-biotics my city's only hospital has to offer...I'm gonna say: not drinking from the toilet is the best option for moi.

Good Lord. Don't any of you watch those Dateline specials?

27. Considering that
I am almost bankrupt, my daughter is in college (expensive!) and my place may go under foreclosure at any minute, I would do just about anything that would not cause harm physically or emotionally to another individual.
