Very good point. And that's what I mean, I think. I'm driven by many things, but money isn't one of them.

(Disclaimer: That's probably because I'm not hungry or homeless, nor is my family. Things change when there is actual need, and I'm well aware of that.)

even when things were pretty dodgy for me and I had a hard time putting beans on the table for the kids, I tried to keep my principles and overall view of the world and standards

I'm disturbed by the idea of catering to such a sick perversion for any amount of money. Anyone who wishes to inflict pain on someone for payment should seek professional help.

Boxing and book critic I'll agree with. Anyone engaging in either of those two occupations really does need help.

Rugby, I'm not so sure about. Inflicting pain is merely a by-product rather than the purpose of the sport.

Granted, and thus my terror of violent books comes from experience. But this conversation is not about something that would actually happen outside a biker bar. It is (I hesitate to call it this) an intellectual exercise. Now get that stick outta your butt and tell us what your price is?

I wouldn't do such a thing for any money. It's what killed Houdini, remember!

Yes. Houdini used to bet people that he could take any blow in the abdomen without injury. A McGill university student hit him, ruptured his appendix, and he died of peritonitis.

You really wouldn't let someone punch you in the belly for a billion dollars?
