Wacky American humor. I expect such low-level wit from NPR.
Most likely not “low level wit”. The NPR guy was probably serious. Not trying to be funny just stupid. Plus, like the guys that found all that gold in the Atlantic, shut up and dig all night. Tell NO ONE!!!!!! Melt it down and sell it off a little at a time. Otherwise, forget even getting cufflinks. The only cuff is the one upside your head for telling anybody.
