It’s hard to tell exactly what goes on over in India, but here’s a man who clearly didn’t think through his plan.

That plan was to attempt to smuggle twelve gold bars into the country, by way of his stomach. Unfortunately, the 63-year old entrepreneur found himself with a little tummy ache. And when he arrived in the hospital, he told doctors that he had swallowed a plastic bottle cap. For whatever reason, this genius didn’t seem to think that the surgeons would discover his little fib. When they opened him up, they were greeted with nearly $24,000 in gold…which they promptly turned over to the authorities.

Funny, I’ve heard multiple songs and stories about having a heart of gold…but never one about a stomach of gold. Anyone want to give Neil Young a ring? We can pay him…in gold.
