| I had not thought about this until I read the link you provided, but from this moment forward, all birthday, Christmas, anniversery, etc gifts to my wife should be gold jewlery. Not the most economical way to buy gold --- but if ya gotta spend money for a profunctory gift anyway, might as well be sumthin' ya might find a use for later on. |

And he that hath lyberte ought to kepe hit wel / For nothyng is better than lyberte / For lyberte shold not be wel sold for alle the gold and syluer of all the world.
