Default Money for nothing...

http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayof...ney/index.html

These guys really did make a lucky strike. One has to wonder...

Money for (almost) nothing: Fat paychecks for very little workStory Highlights
Washington Mutual's Alan Fishman got about $20 million for 17 days of work

Disney dumped Michael Ovitz after only 16 months and paid him $100 million

Actor Billy Dee Williams' "pay-or-pay" clause paid him money for not acting

Yankees paid Carl Pavano $39.9 million to start only 26 baseball games in 4 years

You wouldn't even have to pay me to fuck stuff up. I mean just give me Randy Depuniet's job...Test race bikes in the off season, crash yourself (and anyone else close) outta Gran Prix races. Don't pay me just keep putting me back on the bike the next weekend. Oh I might want a week or two off per year to heal...
