Ever see the movie, “Indecent Proposal” starring Demi Moore and Robert Redford?

A young couple very much in love are married and have started their respective careers, she as a real estate broker, he as an architect. She finds the perfect spot to build his dream house, and they get loans to finance it. When the recession hits, they stand to lose everything they own, so they go to Vegas to have one shot at winning the money they need. After losing at the tables, they are approached by a millionaire who offers them a million dollars for a night with the wife. Though the couple agrees that this is a way out of their financial dilemma, it threatens to destroy their relationship.

It made me wonder - what would you be willing to do for a million dollars?


Would you cheat on your spouse?
*What if they never found out?
*What if they had to know about it?
*What if there was a random chance they'd find out?
Marti says no, never, no matter what.


Sell your house?
*What if you knew the buyer was a drug dealer?
*What if you knew the buyer stole the money?
*What if you knew the buyer was an illegal alien?
Marti says no, never. I love this land, they ain't printed enough money for it - lol


Assassinate an evil dictator?
*What if they had committed genocide on a group of their countries citizens?
*What if they were plundering aid being sent to help the impoverished or starving citizens?
*What if you were certain they had a nuclear bomb and intended to use it?
Marti says I couldn't do it myself, but I wouldn't stop someone else - lol


Perform in a porno movie?
*What if you could disguise your face?
*What if you were young, single and had a killer body?
*What if you could choose your partner?
Marti says no, well maybe - lol


Sell your vote in a presidential election?
*What if the candidate you had to vote for was a racist?
*What if the candidate you had to vote for was a philanderer?
Marti says no, never, no matter what. I value the freedom to vote too much to sell it at any price.


Walk naked down the main street of your town?
*What if you could wear a bag over your head?
*What if it was midnight?
Marti says for a million bucks, I'd do it with the bag at midnight - LOL


Pull the switch to execute a convicted child molester?
*If they had one conviction?
*Two?
*More than two?
*If it was your child?
Marti says no, I don't believe in capital punishment, but it would be a real moral struggle for me if it was my own child.


Sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl?
*If you had to do it acapella?
*If you could be accompanied by an orchestra and choir?
Marti says yes, even acapella. I've sung in public before, and it doesn't scare me.


Inject heroin?
*What if it was only once?
Marti says yes. I've known heroin users, I think I could do it once and live.


Have sex with a person of the same gender?
*If your spouse or significant other never found out?
Marti says I have, {{GASP! lol}}so yes if I were single, but I would never cheat on my spouse.
