BillyVance 35 #1 September 20, 2006 Wow... would you do the same thing? Quote AP PALMETTO, Fla. (Sept. 19) - Mark Giorgio figured a 50-foot fall was worth $20. Giorgio, 47, was counting his money Monday while walking across the U.S. 41 bridge over the Manatee River when a $20 bill blew out of his hand and flew over the rail. He followed. And plummeted 50 feet into the river. Then he swam about 100 yards to fish the bill from the water. "I got my money back, hell yeah," Giorgio told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. "Twenty bucks is a lot of money when you're broke." He was fished from the water by a passing Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officer. Giorgio, who said he was already suffering from a broken collarbone, refused treatment for cuts and scrapes he suffered in the fall. "Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airtwardo 7 #3 September 20, 2006 Reminds me of the joke about the guy sitting in the 2 holer out house with his buddy.. As he stand up his wallet falls from his pants into the 'soup' below... Without so much as a word to his friend, he simple takes off his watch and throws it in as well... What are you DOING, his friend asks... "Well...I sure as hell ain't going down just for 20 bucks and picture of the old lady!" ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
