Ever notice this doesn't happen with the soft commodities? Wheat? Soybeans? Rice?

Darn near killed him...

[P.O.E.]

There’s gold in them thar hills.

[Gay State Conservative]

Yah,but shoving soybeans up your "whatever" can be messy.

Flushing our tax dollars down the toilet?

I’m trying to make sense of this article.

Since the orifice packer was sentenced in 2016, does this mean there has been another incident of missing gold? Must be if the RCMP have just been notified.

I’ve heard the expression “$%y+ing a gold brick” but this seems excessive.

about the diameter of a golf ball

For those of us who don't know, are Canadian golf balls the same size as American golf balls? (I suppose the same question could be asked about Canadian rectums, but that question would probably start a whole new thread).

[bigbob]

Took that job and shoved it.

[2111USMC]

Never mind. Got it.

The $190K heist was up the butt. The $110K heist is new.

[arrogantsob]

Sounds like a flimsy excuse for a-hole probing on a large scale.

What what in the butt?

They don’t seem to be rocket scientists at the Canadian mint: “While Lawrence’s smuggling method was never proven, Doody said he believed Lawrence must have hidden the gold pieces — roughly about as wide as a golf ball — in his rectum as he left work after his shifts. Vaseline and latex gloves were found in Lawrence’s locker, and he set off a metal detector inside the building 28 times in a span of 41 days, despite gold never being found on his body, the newspaper reports.” https://nypost.com/2017/02/03/mint-worker-gets-prison-for-smuggling-gold-in-his-butt/

Don’t know if it tightened the sphinter muscles or not but Turd-owe has been screwing Canada and Canadians since 2015.
