    Default $180,000 in your ass?

    That HAD to hurt a little

    -----

    Canadian Mint employee accused of smuggling $180K of gold in his rectum

    An employee of the Royal Canadian Mint allegedly smuggled about $180,000 in gold from the fortress-like facility, possibly evading multiple levels of detection with a time-honoured prison trick.

    Hiding the precious metal up his bum.

    The case against Leston Lawrence, 35, of Barrhaven concluded in an Ottawa courtroom Tuesday. Justice Peter Doody reserved decision until Nov. 9 on a number of smuggling-for-cash charges, including theft, laundering the proceeds of crime, possession of stolen property and breach of trust.

    The Uck! factor aside, the case was also an illuminating look at security measures inside the Mint, the building on Sussex Drive that produces hundreds of millions of gold coins annually for the federal Crown corporation.

    “Appalling,” was the conclusion of defence lawyer Gary Barnes, who described the Crown’s case as an underwhelming collection of circumstantial evidence.

    At this mornings price, that's 0.9 lb. of gold. I just pulled a 1 oz. Kuggerand out of my toy box on my desk for reference and that's like putting 13 of them up there! Sure I can poop out a pound, but that's going out not in.

    Anyone else watch "Deadwood"?

    If so, do you remember the scene where the Hearst men searched the workers in the mine for gold?

    Of course Judge Doody was assigned the case.

    It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
