OK, the sad part is that we have actually sat around at work and debated this (hey, we are working on government salarites, what do you expect?
).
First, an observation. Have you ever noticed that when any of the major lotteries start to get really large, the local TV stations all start to interview the people standing in line to buy tickets, hoping that they will win? They all seem to find the same guy to ask the question of: unshaven for 12 days, no teeth, big hunk o' chaw in his lip, 14 strands of hair in a comb-over, and a nasty old Cowboys jacket that hasn't been washed since 1973. And then they all ask the same question: "Sir, what would you do if you won the $84 million in this weeks Powerball lottery?"
"We-e-e-all, first off, I guess I would git me a new truck..."
<sigh> some people just don't know how to think big.
Me? If I won a few dozen million dollars, I would start off by buying a small Caribbean country. Preferably one that entirely occupies its own island. With whatever was left, I would purchase an air force for Dave-land and give them just one command: keep all the lawyers away. Eh, maybe two commands: keep all the lawyers away, and let me take the airplane out for a spin whenever I want. OK, so make that three rules: keep all the lawyers away, let me take the airplane out for a spin whenever I want, and make sure to fly in enough Krispy Kremes whenever the supply in Dave-land starts to get low.
Yeah, that is how I would spend my lottery winnings.
