    Step 1: purchase an ancient Roman bronze As.

    Step 2: put the coin in your pocket.

    Step 3: go to work, and approach everyone you see, and say, "Hey, I've got a nice as. Wanna see it?"

    Yes, I really showed my as at work that day.

    Good thing I don't work on Wall Street, with a hole in my pocket.

    Then I might come home and say, "Aw, man, I lost my as in the stock market."

    @Aethelred has a variation on this theme.

    With a certain kind of Vietnamese coin in his pocket, he has been known to approach people and say, "Hey, wanna see my dong?"

    (Or so he claims.) ;)

    You're a veritable freak of nature!

    I'm not sure whether to be impressed, or fax you a Ringling Bros. job application! LOL

    I sourced a lot of product and have been to VN... Love their currency: at .000045 Dong to $USD, (or 22,300 Dong to $1.00USD)

    You would OWE me money if you gave it to me... Just for the trouble of trying to transact it! :D

    You may want to hoard the Dong coinage. The melt value is probably worth MUCH more than the currency is worth! STOCK UP!!! :D

    Oh, as someone with some legal experience I would not actually recommend you pull the "wanna see my dong" or "wanna see my nice As" prank at work. A Human Resources complaint from an overly fragile snowflake and your job is toast. Not to mention the $50,000 - $100,000 suit against you and your former employer from the distraught hypersensitive co-worker who suffered "irreparable mental harm" as a result of sexual harassment when she heard the word dong or As (and no, I was talking about a coin may not be enough to save you in this climate of hyper sensitivity).

    If you want to make that joke, keep it between you and your non-coworker friends and relatives.

    Hmmm.... Years ago I was VP of Sales and Marketing with large consumer products company. Human Resources coded my position as VP of S&M...

    Does anyone recall a while back when we had a YN who posted something to the effect that his parents did not approve of CT shortly before he stopped posting? I don't recall the name.

    You should definitely get those bumps on your dong looked at by a doctor.

    So I guess that means extending your forefinger and saying "Here, pull this" is out of the question....
