I found Gold in a dumpster.

I found these in a plastic tray with all kinds of other electrical components

What do I do with it?

1. Mail it all to me.
I'll do a chemical analysis and send you the results in 6-8 business months.

6. I figured they are at least gold plated
These appear to be more though. Don't get me wrong (I'm no metallurgist) they look different from other components in the same box that are definitely gold plated.

7. Those are, indeed, gold plated connector pins
All we need is a connector pin tool and we can go to town installing connector pins in gizmos.

15. Yeah
That's cause you don't have kids.

The cold medicine I took the other night knocked me out. I woke up late to the three year old one centimeter from my face with an empty box of tic tacs he got out of my purse, yelling, "Mommy, mommy, look! I eat these!"

27. Dyslexia can be nuf
I originally read that as "I found God in a dumpster". I figured okaaaaay...but do I really want to hear about it?

People who misplace their deities tend to go on at painful length about it.

28. Ain't that the truth.
Anyway, as the old joke goes...

You found God in a dumpster? Great if nobody claims him after 60 days he's yours.

Q3JR4
Couldn't resist.:P
