The Nothing Thread....Move Along Nothing to See Here

My mates and I once saw gold enough to fill a normal house. Wow, we joked about what it would be like to walk off with some, but there was no way of course. Another time a navy chief I was working with had his brother visit. He was dressed in street clothes and had just arrived from New York to California. His bro laugh and told me to hold out my hands and his brother reached into his pants pockets, he was wearing his shirt out, and took out two wax paper balls and put them in my hands. He opened them and they were filled with diamonds. It looked like the night sky. He was a messenger or carrier. He carried jewels from one place to another. By this way he didn't call attention to the huge fortune he was handling and didn't have to show it to the guards at an airport. I asked if he was handing out any samples, but he said no.
