My parents and I would sometimes play this game where we brought up a thoroughly unattractive and/or vaguely problematic dare (i.e.: Driving to GetGo while butt-ass naked) and then attached increasing dollar amounts to it until you finally said yes. (โWould you drive to GetGo while butt naked for $10?โ โNo.โ โ50?โ โNoโ โ200?โ โEh.โ โ300?โ โProbably.โ) Sometimes it would get a little morbid or weird or specific (โWould you trip my bossโs new baby for $1,000?โ) but ultimately it was played to prove that everyone has a price. (And also that my parents might have been closet nudists.)

Anyway, the thought of Donald Trump getting indicted and arrested remains a bit of a pipe dream, like when I tell myself that eating gluten-free donuts is just like eating kale. (โBut theyโre gluten free though! Which means I can eat seven of them!โ) But while following Michael Cohenโs testimony today, I couldnโt help but fantasize about a Donald Trump perp walkโwhere heโs shuffled out of Mar-a-Lago in a golf shirt and hoop shorts with McNugget crumbs falling from his cheeks and bracelets on his ghastly shinsโand I started to ask myself how much I would pay to see that happen.
I started at $1,000 (definitely), just skipped ahead to $5,000 (still definitely), and then finally, after much thought, settled on a number: $17,827.16. I would pay seventeen thousand, eight hundred twenty-seven dollars and sixteen cents to watch Donald Trump perp walk.
