I was doing OK till I got to that phrase, "the metaphysics of gold."

Metaphysics itself is bad enough.

Next we will hear about "the karma of gold."

I tell you, the gold I own is the most boring god-damned stuff that has ever come my way. It sits in a safe deposit box doing nothing of value, and I don't even know how to get rid of it at a decent price if I wanted to. And the stupidest peice of jewelry I ever saw on a woman was a necklace with a Krugerrand as a medallion. And I even own some beuatiful Venezuelan pure gold "Caciques" coins. But they are of no use or pleasure to me. Now maybe if I could have a solid gold toilet where I could take a good satisfying crap once a day, I might really enjoy it.

An investment in a 1956 Thunderbird would be a lot more fun and probably a lot more profitable.
