Daily Questions 2/5/2008 – Mystery guy gives Iowa couple $100k
- 5 Comments... What do you have to say?
I was browsing the net this morning and came across this article where some guy went into a bar and gave this couple a $100k check. Well….that’s not exactly how it went down. Basically…the guy goes in….makes conversaion with the couple and hands them a blank check. He asks them to write any amount on that check. Thinking this guy was either nuts or not serious…they write $100,000. The guy signs it and says he’s good for it. The next day they cash the check and it clears!!! woW wOw Wow WOW
Now that’s what I call generosity!! According to the couple, the guy gave them two conditions. First, they need to use the money to build/purchase a new home. Second, they need to name their next child after him. I’m not sure about you, but I think I might do that. Unfortunately, the gentlemans name was not disclosed, and we will never know the fate of their next child.
My questions to you are:
- If someone were to give you a blank check and asked you to write any amount…how much would you write?
- How many of you would attempt to cash the check?…..not knowing if the check is valid or not
- And finally……How many of you would follow through with the two conditions?…(1) build/purchase new home..and 2) name your child after him)

1) I would have written $500,000 as a minimum!
2) I would for sure cash the check….heck…it doesn’t hurt to try….or does it?
3) I would follow through with the first part…but I’m not sure about naming my child after him.
Great blog post, keep it up
Thanks!
1. I would write the check for $500,000; it may be a test and I wouldn’t want to be too greedy.
2. I would deposit it and make sure I didn’t spend the money until 30 days later. As long as the money’s there; I’d only have to pay a $6 fee for the rubber check.
3. I own a home already, I wonder if paying off my current home would count. Otherwise, I’d still follow through; we’re running low on space. I’d follow through on the first child promise as well; hopefully the guy’s name isn’t Richard Burns or something like that.
