I was hoping for pics. Or better still, samples.

Here's the $4000 hooker.

Not bad, but you only get to "rent" her...and the cost goes up if caught...just ask Spitzer.

For $4K I'd rather have something like this, and play with it as long as I'd like to...actually, $4K a little low for this one, but you get the idea...

Money can't buy you happiness, but it sure can buy your choice of misery.

That's almost enough $ to pay the politician's tax bills...

Even "...one hundred billion dollars!" isn't very much these days.

Whoever came up with that line was an impoverished idiot. :rolleyes:

Been studied, actually. Money does buy happiness, but only for a short period. Expectations rapidly adjust to the new status, and prior level of 'happiness' returns.

That makes sense...

I'd rather do the hooker and use the warped cue to take your $$ in 9 ball, then buy her again. :D

I suspect that someone cannot count very well. What's pictured is actually a little more than a half billion dollars. I've seen a billion in cash and that is not a billion.

A "brick" of hundreds is 10 straps consisting of 100 bills per strap. Looks to me that each pallet is 7x5bricks per level and 16 levels high. That is 560 bricks per pallet or $56,000,000 per pallet. 12 pallets is $672,000,000 and one of those pallet's is clearly not full.

I'd still be prepared to see if it fits in my garage if anyone wants to bring it over.

Bring your warped cue, and your $$$, right on out here...:D I don't play for money, but I'm sure I could find you some action...especially if you're willing to give some weight, like maybe the breaks and the 8?
