What would you do with $400????

[mrwabam]

So I work in inside sales and july and august are notoriosly slow months. Our boss has decided for the month of July and August he is going to run a contest, whoever gets the most Contacts gets a 400 dollar prize of our choosing, we just need to choose by next week. Since I think there is literally 0 chance I'll win this I want to have fun with this....

I was thinking of 400$'s worth of generic gallons of water delivered to my office, I imagine that would be around 550 gallons of water....

Other ideas were Double Bubble, ramen noodles, bags of chips....

Any ideas out there?

If you have 0 chance of winning, why should you pick the prize?

Everyone gets to choose their own prize that motivates them...

Also, no gift cards, strippers or escorts, lottery tickets would prolly get denied under the gift card clause as well......

I was hoping to get more humerous ideas than 400 money order made out trmiv.... although telling my boss,

"I'd like you to send a $400 money order to this guy from forums.anandtech.com" would be funny, it just doesn't have the kick I was looking for....
