And this is the guy they will blame for full cavity searches before going home now.

I’m pretty sure they can charge him with money-laundering.

A mint employee was directed to attempt to recreate the feat, lubricating an identical puck and inserting it into their anus, which apparently worked fine.

Excuse me?

The next time anyone complains about worker protections in the United States, I am going to point to this story. American employers may make their employees take it up the ass, but only figuratively.

Since the introduction of the one- and two-dollar coins in Canada, this is a common way of carrying loose change, so as not to wear out one’s pockets. Hence the expression, “Can I bum a loonie off you for a Timmie’s coffee?”

Anyway, we have universal government-funded health care, so if necessary the employee can get an enema of the state.

:notes: Gonna take this job and shove it.
I won’t have to work no more.
With a little luck I can fit in another,
And still walk out that door.
I’ll be sitting on a gold mine,
My retirement is secure.
Gonna take this job and shove it.
I won’t have to work no more. :notes:

“A mint employee was directed to attempt to recreate the feat,”

That falls firmly under “not my fucking job”.

Though, hey, not judging maybe the guy, or gal, was cool with it.

“Oh, no, Br’er Bear, not the briar patch!”
