Just remember, she's your wife, you can hit her as hard as you want to.

A Chico who is named Rico:

You are still the man for finding it! Keep looking for that gold that could value at $35,000.

Seriously, keep sweeping!

There was some guy at a gunshow a few years ago with a big gold brick. He was selling photos of you holding it for $5 a pop.

I suspected that it would be brass but, it's still a great paper weight. I do know that those things happen. I was asked to help divide assets in a divorce case I was working on once and was flown to Sarasota. One of the items the husband showed me was a chunk of metal that he bought at a garage sale. He thought that it was a brass paperweight as did the owners. He saw the letters AU on the back so he bought it. He had it tested and it really was gold. Those things never happen to me. All I got was a allergies when they turned on the air conditioning in the locked up condo. Mold Spores!

This went from possible worldly riches, to a piece of brass, only to become a priceless treasure. What makes this even more funny is, your wife (unwittingly) had many of us sitting on pins, and needles, waiting for you to report back.

If it were pure gold it would push (displace) 51 ml of water out of a graduated (measured) cylinder, because gold is 19.3 times more dense than water. Lead would push 120 ml of water out because it is 8.8 times more dense than water.
1000 gms divided by 19.3gm/ml=51.8 ml of water

Chico,
This has been an interesting post. Sorry to hear it was a mean (but very funny) joke.
Your wife is my type of person. That sounds like a joke I would play.
Great buy at $5.00 either way.
