Give It Away

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?

Give It Away

Give It Away Now!

Now, I am going to operate under the assumption that since I have a million smackers to give away, I, my family, friends and loved ones are already well taken care of.

Assuming that, I would likely donate the majority to cancer and diabetes research, since each has taken people very dear away from me far before their time. Let’s say…$450,000 to each.

I’d take the remaining $100,000 and give $80,000 to a local no kill animal shelter that I have dealt with in the past. They do good work.

And the remaining $20,000?

Why, I’d pay a clown to spray my boss’ boss in the face with a big ol’ bottle of seltzer.

“Why would one do such a thing?” I hear you ask.

“Why would you waste 20K on that?”

“Surely, you can find better things to do with it!” you say.

Well, because sometimes a gorilla’s just gotta do gorilla things. 😉🦍😉

  1. OK, RHCP playing in my head now 🤪
    Very noble causes 🙏 and I’m sure dear to the heart.

    And hey, with all your charity, there’s no reason why you can’t have a bit of fun 😉

    It could be worse… 👋 I’m sure people have paid for ah hem, worse stuff…to happen to some people they work with 😆 🤣

    We won’t go there though! 🤫

    I’m unsure if you are going to give it away, the recipient is liable to pay tax on it 😂 at least that’s how it works in the UK.

    1. I think the ones to the charitable organizations would be exempt here.
      The clown “hitman” is getting paid under the table. 😄😄

    Research is good 👍 but sometimes the money handlers aren’t fiscally responsible. Be on the board,make sure to get the best bang for the buck

  6. Maybe I missed it in the past, but I think this is the first time I’ve seen Mr. Gorilla laughing. Well, the clown spraying the boss was pretty hilarious. Well done, sir.

    1. I think there is like, one(?) other pic where he’s laughing. Maybe 😄
      But, yes, to be fair, he doesn’t always hire hitman clowns to spray people with seltzer for 20k. For that kind of money, he’d better get a laugh!

      3. Fridays are always good, even for a retiree like me. For one, it’s “Pizza Friday” at the Ortiz house, so I’m looking forward to that. The weather is a nice 72 degrees and sunny. So far, it’s looking like an awesome Friday. Hope you have a great weekend!

    Really awesome of you, especially the cancer research, I can truly appreciate that. The last $20,000, I think I will send a couple of my bosses and pay your clown to do the same thing to them 😁👍🤣😂🤡

  9. Those are great causes. I think I would give a quarter to North Texas food bank, another quarter to the organization I volunteer for Citizens Climate Lobby, another quarter to the Leonberger Health Foundation International (dog health research), and the last quarter to a non-kill shelter. Something like that.
