If I had 10 million, there is a real and credible chance that I might just exchange it all for quarters to fire out of a cannon until I was bored.....hopefully I would have more presence of mind come the million dollar moment...but I make no promises. I mean hell, I've done stranger things with 10 dollars, 10 million might just mean a million times stranger.
-edit- This particular comment reminds me very much of the semi-fictional excercize alluded to in Office Space, whereby the protagonist relays a story in which he was asked what he would do if he had a million dollars (or something to that effect) as a method of determing what he should choose as a career. His amusing -and I bet common- response. Nothing.
