I blame the DIA and one too many cups of XXX strength Costa Rican Santa Maria Dota coffee this morning, amends, it was a gibberish, especially the mercenary stuff, figments of a fractured head. I was just using it to get the image of Doc Holiday eating cereal and sitting nude in the morning sun out of my head, damm you Doc for sharing that, brekky will never be the same!

All you have to do is insert drivers license or use hand print scanner and correct weight in gold coin or bar and presto conflict resolution. I'll set them right next to the gold vending machines and hit them for the tax, selling with in a year, plus 200% mark up on the gear (impulse buyers cognitive dysfunction is a marketers best friend), boooya rollin in gold soon. Umm I could call it the "Freedoom Vending Corp, Inc." (Copyright and TM solely mine) oooh I'll start with the red states to set precedence then move nation wide. If things go to plan I'll do a hostile take over of the gold vending machines company then the private prison system. I'll have a closed loop on the market just like De Beers, nations will fear me, muhahaha.<br /><br />Not to worry, NC regulars get first go at limited franchises and fully armored vehicles and suits, with personal security provided by black rocks ex-military personnel aka mercenary's in the old parlance (jeez they got respectability these days, not like in mine. I always wonder if Coca Cola, Cannon, Xerox knew how many sales people they really had abroad, Yes customs officer I'm here on business, probably 6 mo or more, lots of car travel to all the convince stores across your beautiful country, briefcase with sales documents opened to retrieve passport, business card conveniently falls out of passport upon proffering). <br /><br />Skippy...absolutly tingly with this thought, must work out location distribution now, hell the worse things get the better business will be, win win proposition.

Little boy tugging on mother's skirt, Mommy can I have 1,000 Euros to get a prize? Have they no trucks in Germany?

How do you secure such machines?
