When I was in the infantry we were out in the field and there was a huge freaking snail, like half the size of a fist and we were playing with it. One guy said he would offer anyone $100 if they bit it in half. One guy took the damn thing and immediately bit it in half, spit it out and said he would have done it for half as much because he was broke because they didn't pay him for a couple of months because of lost gear (they were garnishing his checks).
