Covered In Gold True Story

As a part time corrections officer
I witnessed some strange things
The State police brought on a man
Who had been sniffing gold paint

In his nose needless to say
His face was covered in gold
The next day I took him into court
His whole face still covered in gold

The Judge asked him how do you plead
Not guilty your honor 
The judge replied by saying
Are you kidding me?

I will never forget that day
