Topic: Anybody Own a Pickup Truck?

Gold sold like chocolate from German vending machines
Shoppers in Germany will soon be able to buy gold as easily as bars of chocolate after a firm announced plans to install vending machines selling the precious metal across the country.

TG-Gold-Super-Markt aims to introduce the machines at 500 locations including train stations and airports in Germany.

The company, based near Stuttgart, hopes to tap into the increasing interest in buying gold following disillusionment in other investments due to the economic downturn.

Re: Anybody Own a Pickup Truck?

I'd consider that option very carefully.



And after that, go Wolfram Alpha for Frankfurt and snowfall. And Yellowpages for dogsleds.

Re: Anybody Own a Pickup Truck?

The German govt should set up competing machines in the bundesrat for a 5% markup

And when the gold runs out, pass a law ordering people to sell their gold to the govt at the market rate XD

Fokker

It doesn't lift anything by itself unless it has the winch in front, "pick-up" is US slang for a small lorry with a gated cargo bed
