So, I was watching this show on TV called Maine Cabin Masters. I was most of the way through the show when I realized I had seen the episode before, although that is neither here nor there. Anyway, They are working on this cabin in Maine sometime in the fall or winter, and the water temp is about 35 degrees. They ask one of their crew if he would jump in the lake for 20 bucks, he said make it 50 and I will do it. So he strips down to his skivvies and jumps in. I have been in water that was quite chilly before., but not that cold. it was scary and freezing. I wouldn't jump in water that cold for less than 500 dollars. How much would they have to pay you? I think super cold water could probably stop your heart..not that it would be likely.

@DianneN Yeah, I was getting into a boat and missed. It was a super warm 80 degree March day but the lake of course was still cold.

Yeah, they have that in a lot of places. This guy actually jumped in the water...With the Polar bear run you can just run in and right back out again.

It can, but not too likely. I know some people who fell into a lake in Western New York with all their winter clothes on..I bet it was colder than 35 degrees. Pretty dumb to be out canoeing when it is that cold.

I think 500 would make it worthwhile. I mean you could get right back out again.

@Giannna Not a fan either...but I would try it if the price was high enough. As long as I didn't have to stay in more than a minute or so.

@RebeccasFarm Ha, there is an odd one in every bunch. It is probably good for your skin and circulation though.

A grand at least. I'd have to take in the factors. Would it be easy for me to warm back up? How long was I supposed to stay in the water? Is there a hospital near by if this stupid act went wrong? etc.

I don't think they could pay me enough. A few trillion and I would think about it ;)

I can't even imagine how much it would take, I just know it would triple zeros. The thought of it is scary.
