I want 10,000 Swiss francs.

Each of you who reads one of my posts about what I had for lunch now
owes me 10,000 Swiss francs.  If you attempt to pay in British francs
you will be arrested by my FrancEnforcers.

OH, BOO HOO, THEY WERE PAID TO LIVE IN A SMALL APARTMENT FOR A THREE DAYS.
What sort of sissy would volunteer to live in a store window and then
require it to be the into an apartment?  If I want to pay 10,000 francs
for someone to live in a shop window, they're gonna live in a SHOP WINDOW,
dammit!  They're gonna hold perfectly still and pretend to be mannequins
and no blink no matter how many times they kids poke them in the eye!

If the window was "transofrmed into a small apartment" then the
Biundos should have PAID to live there.

OH, BOO HOO, THEY HAD TO LIVE IN A SHOP WINDOW THAT HAD BEEN TRANSFORMED
INTO AN APARTMENT EXCEPT THEY COULD COME AND GO AS THEY PLEASE.

OH, BOO HOO, THEY HAD TO GO SHOPPING WITHOUT GOING OUT IN THE RAIN
BECAUSE THEY WERE LIVING IN A STORE.

JA!  DER EXPERIMENT HAS PROVEN THAT PEOPLE ARE NATURALLY VOYEURS
UND *MUST* BE HALTED!

OH, BOO HOO, THEY WERE GIVEN A TWO-WEEK VACATION TO RECOVER FROM BEING
PAID 10,000 FRANCS TO LIVE IN AN APARTMENT FOR THREE DAYS.

Then they went back to doing what they loved best, serving a year-long
term on a Federal grand jury, and turned down five million dollars a
week to play themselves on "Seinfeld".

                                                in Switzerland, where the
                                                people looking at them were
                                                all incredibly polite and nice.
