If there was a computer and wifi available, there's a few guys here that would do it for sure.

They wouldn't even notice the difference from their life now.

If I could write a few conditions into my stay at the greybar, like basic toiletries, a little exercise in the yard, a few books and magazines, some art supplies, a rock hammer and a poster of Racquel Welch, then, maybe.
Don't forget a clean pair of shoes.

I take exception to that assessment. It is more like 90% of CEOs.

Sit and do nothing, and receive $7.75 million a year? Sounds like half the CEOs in America.

$1,000 per hour, 24 7. Have to give that some thought.

This reminds me of a short story by Stephen King called The Jaunt.

think I would be able to do it, and yes I would as long as I could have books. Sometimes I just long for solitude, and a book. Don't forget to feed my cats while I am away please

define 2 years in solitary first


- Can family visit?
- TV?
- books?
- Daily hour out for a walk?
- Phone calls?
- what other do's or can't do's ?

Could i do it, sure
Would i ? Not sure.. It's a funny thing to be deprived of your freedom, to be told 24/7 what to do or not do, to live by somebody else's clock. To eat and wear the food and clothes you have been given.

Not sure how many of you have ever been there, and no , i don't mean army or company meetings. I mean truly being imprisoned is something entirely different.
