i.e. it's bling from a former crack dealer... and he might want it back if he gets out and sees you wearing it... best to melt it down and mail it away
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

All you have to do is go to the warehouse in Woodside, pick out the stuff you want for your office, and they'll deliver it.

My manager disagrees with you and would prefer to just do nothing about it.

We didn't consult our manager. We just went over and did it. The stuff miraculously appeared and no one asked any questions.

Sorry. They fired my ass a year and a half ago. You could send me your i.d., but then you might not like what I pick out for you. That place has some pretty bizarre stuff.
