By the Skin of their Teeth

This report of a federal attempt to seize the gold right out of the mouth of a couple of alleged criminals is unusual, to say the least. Flenard T. Neal, Jr. and Donald Jamar Lewis found out the government had a warrant to seize what is labeled "grills," those gold or jeweled caps on the teeth, right out of their mouth.

Read the AP story.

When the feds found out that the grills were bonded to the defendants' teeth, they ceased and desisted.

Maybe we can start a fad: "A new place to store your gold." How about this style? (Click on images for a better view.)
