I'd get a used 56 degree Callaway wedge I've been eyeing down at Golf Galaxy.
Ooh, that's a good one. Maybe I'll take mine back.
(I'd get a Vokey or Cleveland first, though).

As I've gotten older I've come to realize what a waste of money clothes are. When I started making a bit more money I spent money on some nice clothes and my mom just messes them up each time she does the wash, they come out really dry or with bleach spots, or fall apart in some way or another. So I don't buy new clothes now, the ones that have made it through the wash this long are sturdy enough to keep me going for a while.
What are the things I splurge on? (And that's what you're really asking about, a splurge idea, because most people wouldn't spend $40 for the hell of it, but you have to, which is interesting).
With $40 I HAD to spend, I would rent some movies I had wanted to see, buy a good face moisturizer with sunblock, buy some Simply Saline nasal spray (which is surprisingly expensive about $7), and some candy and popcorn to enjoy the movies with, oh and a magazine, I hardly ever get magazines, but they are fun, like Esquire and GQ both have interesting article sometimes, plus free cologne samples, and you can cut out the pictures of the hot men and keep them for a collection if you have one.
EDIT: If there's money left over get sunglasses. I'm always losing mine, and need them this time of the year. Good to have lots of them around.

hahah $40 will get me a 1/4 tank of gas and a car wash. Can't go far but at least I'll look good doing it.
Probably one of these:
-A Grado Black cartridge for my turntable
-TCC TC-750 Phono Preamp
-AMP6 DIY kit from 41hz.com
-$40 worth of vinyl from flea markets, ebay and such
(I just started to build my first decent vinyl setup a couple of days ago around a Technics SL-Q2 turntable)

How about you do your own washing so that your clothes are actually washed in the way they are meant to be. Crazy suggestion I know...
Surely Petrol would make more sense.
Either way it's expensive. How much (in USD) is "Petrol" by you guys?
Just under $2 a litre (more accurately $1.80). So roughly $7 - $7.50 per US gallon. Assuming the exchange rate is still near $2 to £1.
Two six-packs of Sam Adams cream stout, (or the beer of your choice) some really good cold cuts, (Bologna, genoa Salami, Turkey) and some chips.
Rent a good "guy's movie" and invite two buddies over.
