There are two boxes before you:

One contains one million USD. The other, a certain oorang-utang's head on a platter. You may only choose one. Which box shall you choose?

It's all supposition anyway, as such someone would have to remove that head, and I'm not about to condone murder.

Besides for a couple hundred you can get life size cardboard cutouts in the shape of the orange one.

Great for target practice, and just as satisfying I'd imagine.
