All That Glitters

Dateline Tokyo: Japanese Customs have noted a resurgence in gold smuggling to avoid taxes and duty. In small amounts people carry it into Japan in pouches sewn in their underwear and in bars taped to the bottoms of their feet. They recently arrested five women in their 50s/60s hiding 70 pounds of gold in their "clothing." The ring leader was a 66 year old housewife. I guess these gals had a "yen" for some pin money.
