I'm shocked that you'd think that any amount of money, even 60k, would get me to compromise my civic duty.

[-] Kyatto@leminal.space 21 points 3 months ago

40k is only a years salary for me so idk why they thought that would be anywhere near enough.

[-] Fester@lemm.ee 15 points 3 months ago

This 20k would have really helped me out, but alas, morals.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Somebody suggested that I’d get some money, but I never did. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m late for an appointment at the Ferrari dealership.

[-] ProIsh@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

This was all beautiful, thank you everyone that pulled through

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

You’re beautiful.

[-] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

120k is barely a down payment on a Ferrari.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Definitely not true for a sweet used one

[-] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, but you said going to the Ferrari dealer, not going to Craigslist.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Imagine your surprise when you realize you can buy a used Ferrari at a dealership

[-] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

A Ferrari dealer is not like a Toyota dealer. They are like 99% new or special order, and the other 1% that is used is all current model year with very low miles, or older but very rare and expensive.

The odds of getting a Ferrari for $120k from a Ferrari dealer is probably slimmer than your chances of being given the bag with $120k to begin with.

Oh, so it’s possible though?

That’s crazy bro tell me more

[-] bazus1@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

apparently our 20k increments played well on Boing Boing . We did it guys!

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Finally, we’re famous.

How do they expect to sway a juror for only $5k?
