when you are rich, the rule of common sense is thrown out the window. to quote a certain Abridged series: 'Screw the rules, I have money!'
I'm pretty sure the amount is supposed to be $250,000, not $25,000. If one of these was only $25,000 lots of idiots would have them.
There are plenty who are - and $25,000 really isn't that much money in the big picture. And at 7 pounds of gold, they DEFINITELY mean $250,000.
Even news articles are now affected by the fluctuations in gold prices. If I was rich I'd want a mankini made out of gold. I'd sink when I went swimming, but at least my expensive death would likely become a TFW GD thread.
I was imagining a shirt-shaped gold ingot around his body that didn't move and he just sorta stuck his arms out the side. This is less hilarious.
I was imagining something similar, but so heavy that it destroyed his spine (seeing as someone clearly destroyed his brain).
