Show Me The Gold

So, I don't know if I am the only person in the world that watches TV but have any of you TV addicts out there in blogland seen a commercial about a "Gold Kit"? I would really want to know if someone out there would get a little paper bag and fill it with all or some, heck or even a piece of gold, then seal it put a stamp and mail it to some unknown group that claims and promises to send you lots of moula for your gold.

Well, I am kindda broke these days so when I saw that commercial for the first time, just imagine my enthusiasm. So like a chicken without a head I started running up and down my house looking for those forgotten pieces of gold jewelry that probably lays around the house forgotten and abandoned. "I AM RICH", "I HAVE HIT THE MOTHER LODE", mi chica probably has tons of unused gold all over the house, I will need not one, not two, nor three or four, but maybe a dozen of those little paper bags... Yeah right! That'll be the day when I have gold, and if I had any gold, I'll be darned if I would put it in a little paper sack and mail it hopes of turning it into cash.

But that's just me, the guy on TV said he just rummaged around the house and pick some of his gold, mailed it and now he has lots and lots of money.

The next commercial showed a guy that went to this place here in Phoenix and took all his scraps and he too got lots of money for it. I mean they claim they take all kinds of scrap material and that they will pay you lots and lots of money.

Man, I think I am in the wrong business, because I have so much crap that I think I should be a millionaire by now... What? What did you say? That they'll pay me money for my scrap not my crap, oops! My bad.
