A former co-worker of mine won $15M in the lotto. He had no experience in handing such a large amount of money, and sought advice from his lawyers, accountants, etc.
They were unanimous in their advice about the first thing he should do: buy super-high liability insurnace to protect his new-found assets. He was advised that there are leeches out there who prey on lotto winners. Typical ploy is to have an “accident” on the sidewalk in front of their house.
“I found a way to still view BHB’s OT. Cobble, you aren’t missing much…just a few more unentertaining, cane-wagging type posts from the grouches over there.”
Seriously, they’re still kvetching? Wow, they are the professionals! ; )
Infinite, You know there is some agency or operation that allows you to ANONYMOUSLY donate funds to ANYONE you like. I think that’s incredibly cool. They were talking about it on the news one morning some months ago. And people were donating money to their neighbors anonymously and the recipients were so damn appreciative. If I won a bunch of money, I’d give it anonymously. That way, your friends family, whomever aren’t embarrassed, and they don’t feel beholden to you, ’cause they have no idea it was you that gave it! Nice, right?
If I win lotto.
After buying every house in B. Heights and tossing all the residents out and making it a gated community.
I’d set up a website: ihatebhb.
if I won the mega million, I would sell out and move back to Manhattan

“Cobble, you should email him!”
I might, I just might.
Biff: Did you see the Art of Pranks site with HOMER FINK?
Cobble,
I just printed the BHB exchange to PDF. Will send over to you at some point from my home address (which is blocked here at work).

No, I don’t like it at all. But it’s going through my head now and probably will be for a while. Thanks!!
Isn’t Barry Manilow from Williamsburg, btw??

Oh wait, I can set up the website now.
jester,
Close family – yes, friends – no, except in cases of hardship and then only to cover the hardship, coworkers – hell no!
