Here's the hypo:
180 man, 5'10'', no special athetlic ability
he's got a standard whiffleball bat
he gets to hit you across the back (no neck or head) as hard as he can
you're wearing nothing but a teeshirt
what is the minimum amount of money you would take to endure the ensuing injury?
-
$500 whiffle ball bat's hurt lol
-
How many times does he get to hit me?
Are my children watching (it could be humiliating, that costs extra ;) )
What is my ethnicity and/or religious persuasion? (Black, costs more, Black and Muslim bring a credit card :cool: )
Am I employed or unemployed, if unemployed am I recieving public assistance?

What injury?
That bat is more likely to bend before I even notice he is there . . .
I'd even remove my shirt (although that sight may scare him off, losing me any $$s whatsoever). So I suppose, the more important questions are, do I get paid per whack, and who decides when he stops, him or me? ;)

right, lets say i propose to take 10 hits at £500 a pop and the guy accepts, that means this dude has got at least £5000 on his person ready to pay me. so right before the first hit i knock out the shortarse with a right hook, hit him with his own bat for good messure and take the money.

Free. Just to show up all the guys who had to be paid to look awesomely unfazed in the face of mortal danger.

Sounds like this idea was inspired by Oofty Goofty. You have probably heard of Oofty Goofty before on the show Wild West Tech starring David Carradine.
This character started out as The Wild Man of Borneo in a Barbary Coast sideshow. When people came up to his bars, he would growl and howl out "Oofty goofty!", hence his name. He once played Romeo in a production where the lead actress proved too heavy for the balcony. So they switched positions and, true to his past, Oofty Goofty made like a monkey and grunted and moaned his lines. He became a curious one-man industry when he was bounced out of a saloon and discovered that he felt no pain. People could sock him, kick him, etc. and it would not bother him. He let saloon denizens hit him with a baseball bat for four bits a whack. His career ended when he let heavyweight boxing champion John L. Sullivan hit him across the back with a pool cue. Sullivan broke two of Oofty's vertebrae, forcing Oofty to retire. Thereafter Oofty walked with a limp and whimpered at the slightest touch.*

the whiffle bat is a very rare bat found only in the upper reaches of the amazon rainforests in territory controlled by hostile native tribes, therefore not much is known about this rare bat.

Only for actual loss from any concequental medal bills.
He should have had AFLAC....
$120 just to go to the doctor
$65 for xray
$35 for the follow-up doctor's visit
The money would have gone right to his mailbox.

Ok, I will try to answer all of your questions...
Just one hit, not multiple hits.
I cannot say anything about the religion or race of the hitter.
I cannot predict the injury because that would take the chance element out of the game. It's whatever injury you are willing to risk, I guess.
I do not know who 'oofty goofty' is, but I assure you that this idea was original when it was first conceived, this last friday. If anybody else thought of it first, I did not know about it.
The only clothing you are allowed to wear is a teeshirt.
Thus far, I've had a range of responses, from $20 to $1,000,000. The person who asked for the million bucks applied what is commonly known as the Learned Hand formula from torts and determined that there as at least a 1/1000000 chance of paralysis, then determined that paralysis, to him, was worth a $trillion dollars in compensation, then adjusted the compensation accordingly. His answer was faulted for reasons I won't go into, but that was the approach he used.
I'm asking for $5000, because the chances of a broken rib or bruised kidney are high enough to be worth considering.

$200 + compensation for all wages lost if injured.

you old enough to get a job now vort>?

5 grand to get whacked by a w.b. bat?
where can I sign up?
I would prob. do it for $200.00 (per hit)
havin' been hit by one, them suckers sting like heck, but I doubt you'll break a rib.
youtube idiots doing just this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoptLDqfnTw)

ill let them hit me in the cheek cause a certain poster said that it will only connect with bone and not hurt. :D
-
How much are you willing to pay?
-
he has to stand directly behind while doing so, and every time he hits me I get to cut a nasty broccoli taco bell, onion fart..
if HE lasts longer then 10 wacks ill pay HIM.

To hit or get hit?

My friend snapped his nipple with a rubber band for a pile of change in a poker match... so I'd have to say...
umm... depends on how much I've been drinking.

I'm honestly sitting here wondering if the wiffle ball bat is different in other places...
I'd easily do it for 10 bucks a hit. Given the wiffle ball bat I know... But then again, as far as I know, the wiffle ball bat in other regions may have spikes on it.

So, naked except for a t-shirt, and just one whack with a wiffle ball bat. I'd like to think this would be the first time this has been done, but something tells me the Intardnet already has this on video.

What if he he's momentarily blinded by the sun and hits me in the balls?
In that case if his pockets are deep enough to afford you all then he can afford a super model wife. I want her. And the super model daughter. And the super model dog. :aok

I was at a birthday party a few weeks back and watched a wiffleball bat being used to thoroughly explode what I thought to be a pretty sturdy pinata. One hit, and raining candy. Sure, your ribs are stronger than cardboard, but the sound I heard and violence I saw was not something I could take lightly it if had been applied to my skin.
The chances of a broken rib are small, but they are still there.
Personally, I think that we've exhausted the speculation stage of this gaym. Since so many of you think it's not a big deal, It's time to start paying people to get whacked.
