Solid Gold

A Saudi Arabian business man has ordered a rather common product with uncommon specifics from X4 Labs in Canada. X4 Labs is a medical device manufacturer that offers, amongst other things, penis enlargers for purchase. The Saudi man ordered one of those but requested it be made completely of 18 karat gold with 40 full cut diamonds and a number of rubies set on it. Sex toys can not be legally imported into Saudi Arabia but since penis enlargers are considered a medical device the jewel encrusted specialty item can be shipped there. A value of over $35,000 ensures the device will be delivered by an armored car when it arrives. The phrase- more money than sense- comes to mind. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/X4-Labs-to-Create-Solid-Gold-prnews-3699847970.html?x=0&.v=1
