Even Hollywood Agents Have Their Limits

An eccentric billionaire goes to a Hollywood agent. The billionaire states he will give one million dollars cash if the agent will push a button. If the agent pushes the button, it will send a signal to a representative of the billionaire who will then kill an anonymous person in the intensive care unit in an anonymous foreign country that does not have an extradition treaty with the U.S.

The agent is outraged. The agent starts yelling that the mere thought of taking a life, even if for a short time, would haunt him for the rest of his life. He could not possibly live with himself with that knowledge and absolutely refuses to entertain the notion of the billionaire’s offer.

The agent then calms down, turns to the billionaire, and says “two million”.
