I would travel the world and eat at the finest restaurants and drink fresh beer at the finest breweries.
After about 15-20 years, I will then most likely be found a few blocks from my final whorehouse visit, in a ditch, bloated, in a alcoholic induced coma from which I will never recover, penniless.

Yeah, it's gone through my mind once or twice.

Our villages are famously quaint, Germany's mountains are an embarrassment really, and the beverages I will not dare to call beer the common German consumes is something I would not even feed a Steelers fan. And yeah, I've been to Germany many times, it's mostly flat, boring and infested with Germans everywhere. Hence I would urge you to rethink your choice on how to spend your virtual 50 million dollars.

Mostly I get a kick out of the way they view each other.  And would say it's not too terribly far off from how the Tri State views each other!
