A good pun.

The money stops being enough after a surprisingly short time. It would be interesting to see how long people could stomach terrible work for great pay.

You have capped your own imagination. Whatever number you are considering, while you still think this is true, multiply it by 100.

> terrible work

I should clarify that I specifically mean unpleasant work. If it's literally killing me by say, inhalation of aerosolized pig brains or standing in cyanide or something, deal's off.

You wouldn't need to because if the pay is so great you can soon retire.

I'm sure Amazon HR has a lot of data on this question.
wouldn't it have to be "go through the movements" to count as a pun on bowel movements? Or is there another sense I'm missing?
Bowel motion is a common phrase where I am. Bowel movement is too.
