Spray paint it gold, slap some MAGA stickers on it and you could absolutely sell it. In fact, someone should do that. Maybe not paint a bridge, but tell people it’s going to be remodeled this summer into some sort of MAGA/Trump bridge and for $100 donation, they can get a brick with their name on it. I’ll bet someone could rip off a good number of people before anyone realizes what’s happening.
Spray paint the bricks given away gold too. MAGA’s will think they have an actual gold brick.
Trump has talked about visiting Ft. Knox to make sure the gold is there. Won’t be for long. He’ll probably want to study some of it at Mar-a-Lago.
That’s why I worded things carefully.
I tried to make it obvious that I was skeptical about the ability to actually get refunds.
No honor amonst theives. That includes their victims.
And unlike his pre-model, Auric Goldfinger, he’ll want to take back a sample.
“What do you mean I can’t? I’m the President of the United States. If I want to place an example in the Oval Office, that’s my right!”
Someone tell him he can save money on his Boondoggle Ballroom if they make it out of gold bricks. I mean, the US already owns the bricks, right? So they’re free for the taking.
They should let him take as many bars as he can personally carry.
Probably should have a doctor on hand for the inevitable injury when he actually tries.
Huh. Au is the periodic symbol for gold. Never made the connection.
Just need about 4000 gallons of caulk.
I look forward to the shenanigans when he inevitability misspells that last word…
Not only that, but “auric” is an adjective that means “made of, or relating to, gold.”
And it kinda sounds like “Eric”.
Yup, from Latin aurum “gold”, adjective aureus “golden”. Fleming was deliberately referencing that when he named Auric Goldfinger, natch.
That’s ‘Fools Gold’.
Yes, “Au” came from “aurum” (and related words, like “auric”), not the other way around.
Just as “Ag” for silver comes from “argentum” (and similar words, like “argent”).
And “Pb” for lead comes from “plumbum” (and similar words, like “plumbing” and “plumber” who dealt with lead pipes, at least back in the day, or a “plumb bob” which used to be made of lead, that you would use to “plumb the depths” of water).
Fleming was never exactly subtle about how he named his characters, particularly the villains.
Or the “love” interests. “Pussy Galore”, I mean really.
Truth in labeling FTW! 
And the woman as well.
That was back in the late 50s when terms like “motherfucker” were unacceptable, but, for reasons, Pussy Galore was a-ok.
I can’t believe the man who created Pussy Galore would play such games with charater names!
