I'm looking for one of two things that we can have fun with. As you may know, Teletrade is auctioning off that huge Maple Leaf bullion "coin" shortly. It weighs 220 lbs of solid gold!

here is a picture with Teletrade's President Ian. If you're were going to assign a funny/witting caption to this photo, what would it be?

Secondly, if you were marketing this coin for sale, what witty couple of lines would you say about it?

I guess i can add my caption to the top photo:

(guards grunting and mumbling under their breath) "uhhhh Ian, unless you wanna' be crushed I suggest you hurry and get this shot, my grip is starting to slip!"

If it ever gets stolen all the cops have to do is look for a thief in need of a hernia operation.

Not a caption, just a comment. I thought TT only sold slabbed coins.

I think I like Newsman's caption the best!
