The $500 Run-Off Vote
OK, so the first set of options I gave you all resulted in what I consider to be a 4-way tie. Some options really jumped out, while others have faded away. (I was kind of hoping you’d pick the lottery tickets, but alas, that was a no-go.)
Anyway, here is your all’s run-off vote among the final four options. Sorry to make you all vote again, but this will be the final decision of what I do with my “found” $500.
Poll Closed. Here are the results:
|
|||
| Save it! This is money to help fund your future restaurant! |  22% |
33 | |
| Spend the money on your wife as a reward for sticking by you. | 35% |
52 | |
| Go out to an amazing meal at a fabulous restaurant you | 21% |

| Buy yourself a new set of top-notch knives. | 22% |

Again, just to be clear, I will do whatever it is you all tell me to do with the money. The fate of my finances are in your hands people, so vote carefully!
Stumble it!

I voted, but personally, you DO have the option of splitting it in half and spending it two ways.

Eize - Sure I do… but where’s the fun in that?!?

Matt, couldn’t you have found this money 20 years ago? We probably could have lived at Rainbow Ice Cream and Arcade for a month, and maybe actually have beaten 1942 and Ikari Warriors!

My vote was and still is with the wife. She’s real good people and deserves something fun–aside from being married to you, natch.

Phil - I have this weird feeling that we spent well over $500 in our time in that arcade. Additionally, we might have been able to BUY Rainbow Ice Cream for $500 back then…
Swan - She is good people, and for staying married to me she deserves much more than $500. But I am sure she’d appreciate a nice gift all the same.

I chose option e) Reward your wife for her years of devotion and patience with a really nice set of knives. If possible, get them personalized with an engraving of your name so she can be reminded of you whenever she cooks.

So I keep coming back here hoping to find out which you’ve chosen. Don’t keep us in suspense any longer!
(I voted for spoiling your wife as a future (someday, hopefully) wife who would like to be spoiled.)

Duh, give back to the wife!
