10 Dollar Essay

Post by Marvin D. »

Do you want 10 dollars? Then send me a PM (1 paragraph) saying why you need it. Be funny, sincere, heart-warming. Make me cry, make me laugh! And one person shall win 10 dollars from Marvin! \:D/

I entered! These things can be fun, as long as you post the PMs afterward. \:D/

Also I know a joke about frogs. 3 frogs walked into a bar. 3 days latter they woke up from their concussions. Now you may ask how those 2 things are related to the $10. They aren't. I just couldn't think for why you should give you money to me.
Hmm...impressive. Nice numbers there, boy. ;)
ric wrote:Here's mine:

I need ten dollars. You see, as a human being, you cannot live without food. And you can’t get food for free, you know. That is why I need ten dollars. Let me tell you a story: Once upon a time, there was a man that didn’t have any money. Therefore, he couldn’t buy any food. So he died. The End. Now, tell me that after hearing that story, you can sit idly by, while I die! How can you live with yourself!? Are you so heartless that you won’t give a psychotic, weird, damaging-to-the-economy, kid ten dollars!? How can you live with yourself!? Thank you.


Note: Anything said above cannot not be used against me in a court of law, because it was written in a seriously psychotic state of mind.
Court of law, here we come!! He's insane. :(

Sapphire wrote:Here it is. :)

Why should you give me ten dollars? Good question. Well, I want ten dollars due to a whim. Now are you going to question a whim? If you don't give me the ten dollars, I'll leave the ToO forever! Okay, I won't do that, but I'll be mad at you forever. I couldn't do that either. Could I? If you don't give me ten dollars, I will be mad at you for a whole second! Why do I need ten dollars? I need it because it would make my day so much better. Wouldn't it warm your soul to know that giving me ten dollars made me feel good?Okay, I'll stop rambling. So, give me ten dollars, or I'll be mad at you for a whole second! Then I will forgive you.
Sapphire might be mad at me for a whole second, which is 1/60 of a minute. :-#

*sigh* I don't think I have a chance to win this because I'm not much of a writer. I'll do my best to explain everything. Frankly, I'm saving my money up for something big (can't say yet... but it should be awesomeness ;)). However, I've made the mistake of running too many fun contests, like the Toy Story 3 celebration, by which I'll be giving about $200 to others. The extra cash would certainly help, but it's up to you.
He tugged my heart. :cry:

IDANCE4JESUS wrote: Okay, here it is!

Dear Marvin,
I think that you should give me $10 because of the polar bears that are dying in Canada. :yes: When I get money on the ToO, it encourages me to spend my real money wisely in real life! One of the ways that I can do this is by donating to charity. Saving animals, (especially polar bears ;) ) is a very worthy cause! :D Just think about it! They are cute & cuddly, but know how to get their way when they want something. Such sweet & dear creatures, doesn't your heart just burn to help them, take care of them, & love them?!? :D Well, mine does. So I need the $10 to help encourage me, to donate money to help them in my real life. \:D/ So by donating to me, you are donating money to save some sweet dear animals who need the human kindness of us!! Please help them, Marvin! I know that you have a heart for them!! :D
Thank you for reading this letter,
Sincerely,
A concerned citizen.


(Marvin, these are not my real feelings on the polar bears, just so you know...but now that you've read it, aren't you ready to donate to them through me?!?! \:D/ :D :)
:hilarious: :hilarious:
Save the polar bears!!!
