Do you want to come back to my place? Bouncy bouncy.

Just so you know, I have continued my one-goblin campaign to inform the world about penis bones, and I still have yet to find a single person who was already aware of them.
I'm starting to get strange looks at work.
Hee hee!
It might be just that.

Chinese fortune cookies actually originated in America. They have since crossed over to China where they are known as American fortune cookies."Help! I'm trapped in a fortune cookie factory!"
I recently received a fortune from a cookie that read "And in the end, the love you get is equal to the love you give". It seems I may have heard that one before.

Did you know that the US government / IRS is obliged to hand over all information that the IRS has on a citizen to any country that has signed a tax treaty with it provided they ask nicely?
For ex - the US / China tax treaty article 25:
1. The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall exchange such information as is necessary for
carrying out the provisions of this Agreement or of the domestic laws of the Contracting States concerning taxes
covered by this Agreement insofar as the taxation thereunder is not contrary to this Agreement, in particular for the
prevention of fraud or evasion of such taxes. The exchange of information is not restricted by Article 1.
Competent authorities means the IRS and china's revenue agency.

Madalyn Murray O'Hair, founder of American Atheists had a son who later became a Baptist preacher. The son alleged that his mother stole more than 18 million of AA's funds, which to this day remain hidden in offshore bank accounts.
O'Hair was kidnapped and murdered by an employee of AA who cut her body into so many pieces she had to be identified by a serial number in a prosthetic hip. While kidnapped, the kidnapper forced O'Hair to buy $500,000 in gold coins with her funds. $420,000 of this money was later stolen from the kidnapper when he left the coins in a storage locker that was randomly burgled.

Wasn't there a documentary about this? I think I saw it a long time ago.

I think I saw one as well. it was not a very good one if I remember correctly.
Hmmm if I have done my math right, that 500k worth of gold coins should be worth approximately 2.1 million now. (gold worth about 384 per ounce in sept 1995, worth 1615 or so now). Good investment.
Only if you don't leave it in a storage locker
More interesting gold facts:
If you could collect all the gold ever mined into a cube with the same dimensions as the Washington Monument , it would only reach to 1/3 of its height
If you could do the same with platinum it would only make a cube 20 feet on a side

I'm not really a person, but I was aware of that. For years now actually. I watch the discovery/science channel.

I swear if I could get away with it I would empty every bus/train/airport locker I could. No telling what's in there.

Back when I worked at a bank, I used to help with safe deposit boxes. There were privacy rooms where people could go through there stuff and no one would see what was in it, but some people would be in a hurry and just open them in front of you. Those would usually be the people with nothing particularly valuable (personal documents, insurance policies, and other boring shiznit).
One time, there was a guy who said, "No, I'll just be a minute. I don't need a room." He then proceeded to open his box and stack gold bars on the counter.
WTF, dude? If there was ever someone who needed the privacy room, it's you.

I work at a bank too and I've only ever seen boring stuff like paperwork and what not. I'm sure that the vast majority of the contents of lockers, safe deposit boxes, etc are really dull, but you only need one really good payday to make it worth it.
I think I'd start with lockers near international travel locations.

The gold bars were my second favorite story. The best was told to me by an estate lawyer. An old man passed away, and she was brought in with the executor and a witness to inventory the old man's safe deposit box. Nobody knew what was going to be in it, but the bank staff said he came in almost every day to access his box in the privacy of the little room.
They opened it up, and it contained...
He went to the bank every day to have his "nip" where his wife would not find out.

That's my new favorite old man.
I have seen that people that keep a bunch of large bills in their box. I don't specifically know why, but I suspect it's because they want to appear to have less money for some reason. Tax evasion, qualifying for some sort of government assistance, maybe hiding it from a spouse, maybe drug money. I'm not really sure, but it seems sketchy to me.
Yeah! Hiding our vices from our women is what we male breeders do best!

Good thing about being gay is that we get to participate in our vices with our spouses. ;-)

Actually my husband and I very boring when it comes to all that. "Vanilla" if you will. Our relationship is neither "open" nor "play together." I know gay couples that are, but my marriage "bedroom theatrics" are just as dull as I imagine most straight peoples are.

Mine love them, but never mind.
Although I'm guessing some schlub will come along soon to inform us poor dumb bastards that it's actually 6.945 times....
Or that it's actually 2 times or 5347 times, which is obviously "ntipicking" the person who said seven...
The Prefab Sprout song Lions In My Own Garden (Exit Someone) is called like that because the songwriter, Paddy McAloon, wanted the words of the title to spell out the name of the city his ex-girlfriend had gone to work as an au pair in when she broke up with him.

-Emperor Caracalla, who ruled Rome in the late III century, gave instant citizenship to all free men inhabiting the empire. The reason was one of inheritance taxation, since only Romans could have them subject to tax.

It sounds it. There aren't a whole lot of reasons someone would carry around a big pile of physical cash with them in a world with credit cards, checks, and the internet. Banks have to report deposits in excess of $10k or more but my guess would be that most don't want to know, as a matter of course, what's in their safe deposit boxes.

That said, if I were a rich man (Daidle deedle daidle Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum), I'd definitely be walking around with large sums simply because I happen to prefer using cash when possible.
