This would also would have been a disadvantage in bartering because anyone that you attempt to barter with would see the amount that you had.That is why wealthy people had slaves some of them had the job of of going out and buying things so that the master to sit around his house or in another wealthy persons home wearing their gold which was really used more as a status symbol to other wealthy people.
They wore a lot of clothes and an overcoat would've concealed it - anyhow from what I've read the method was primarily used by ship owners

I'm guessing the new keeper of the hat and the feather duster probably couldn't do a worse job, so maybe this isn't such a bad idea after all...

Bad Job?

What?

This is the guy who mined the Red Sea
Shot down an Italian airliner
Picked fights with US Navy fighter jets
Bombed another airliner
Invaded all his neighbors
Has a personal guard of warrior women
Provided safe haven for the IRA terrorists who tried to kill Harrison Ford
and sent men to steal Doc Brown's time machine

He's done more evil than some Bond Villains!

Well that is pretty bad indeed, but truth be told which one of us wouldn't have a personal guard of warrior women if we could afford it?

Very stylish for dusting those cob webs in the bedroom.

Not that I'm against the concept per se, (as I'm sure they'd brighten up the room and make a great conversation piece), but I suspect they're of limited value when push comes to shove and it's time to hold the presidential palace.

Incidentally, I wonder what one has to do to qualify for such a prestigious position? Does it require post-graduate work or can any female just step in at entry level?

That's a little sexist, isn't? Back in WWII there were some amazing Russian snipers that were women.

The ancient Japanese and Chinese had their own groups of female palace guards in case even the Samurai and the (whoever the Chinese dudes were) failed.

It was meant in jest. But I suppose in a forum setting intent isn't always easy to determine. I actually thought about including one of these , or one of these , but refrained as I thought it unnecessary to make it blatantly obvious for once. Clearly I was mistaken...

Maybe that Ukrainian "Nurse" that Gadhafi "employed" used it in one of those Fredrick's of Hollywood French Maid get ups.You know it seems now that he also had a thing for Condi Rice.I bet that he had the female guards because women are known to be very tenacious fighters of course it seems that he never used them but they where more body guards and you know that he never got near the front lines.
