Mouths for Monuments

Thar's gold in them thar molars! Article in KC Star about folks turning in gold crowns for money due to the skyrocketing spot market price of gold...hitting all time highs. If you have had the unfortunate circumstance of poor dental hygiene as a kid or just plain bad teeth...you know the drill, literally. So here is a thought.

Why not donate your heavy metal to the City drive for the Monuments? A couple of decent size crowns has to earn you at least an Opal ($1000), complete lowers should bring in an Aquamarine ($3000) and if you set off the metal detectors at KCI and you look like JAWS (007) you are a sure bet to land an Amethyst. Nice.


Not ready to give it up just yet? I imagaine you can pledge that crown for a jewel through 2012...or heaven forbid, bequeath them as well (City of Weatherby Lake, Entrance Monuments), folks are actually having the dearly departed...depart without the bling in their mouths. Just a thought.

Maybe some would be willing to sell an organ or two and donate the proceeds. Just a thought!

I don't have an organ to spare but I do have an old piano I could donate. Seems like a great match for MM and his lemmings - the thing has always been out of tune and never struck any sensible chords. I also thought about the dental plan he mentions. Then I realized it was a waste of time - MM and his followers have no bite - but they can gum you pretty badly!!
