You just won the World Series of Poker; what are you gonna do now?

Okay, so maybe he didn’t win enough to actually buy all of Disneyland.  $9 million could maybe buy the waiting line area of Magic Mountain.  That’s a pretty big wad of cash to try and stuff in your wallet.  It would really give you some back pains sitting on it.

This made me think about the game show, Cash Cab, on the Discovery Channel.  The concept is: people get into a cab in New York City, and suddenly they’re playing a quiz show while being driven to their destination.  The most that anybody ever won is about $1800; but many will win over a thousand bucks.  They’ll get handed a wad of cash and get out of the cab cheering and waving the money around, and I’m thinking to myself:  what a bunch of nippleheads.  Why not just wear a big neon sign that says—MUG ME, I JUST WON $1,000!!!

I’m sure this guy didn’t actually have to haul all that cash up to his hotel room; but man, the way banks are nowadays, I’d probably prefer having it all stuffed into a king size mattress and live off my bed the rest of my life.  (sorry MM, our lives)
