Well, it's a lot of money...
Someone, I believe it was George Bernard Shaw, is reputed to have asked a woman if she would go to bed with him for a million pounds. The woman replied she probably would. Shaw then asked if she would go to bed with him for sixpence. The woman, aghast, accused Shaw of calling her a whore.
"We've already established that you're a whore, madam," Shaw is reported to have said. "All we're doing now is setting a price."
Virginia Tech University took $246,0000 from King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia for a faculty development program. To ease delicate Saudi sensitivies - the boys and the girls were segregated. VTU now realized, "Oh yeah, we oppose stuff like that."
One quote I can source:
"Everybody has a price."
