There is nothing worse than a firm dong that is out of position.Gee, that's too bad.Posted by: nursecindy | September 16, 2012 at 11:36 AM
I hate when that happens.Yeah, too bad.Posted by: ScottMGS | September 16, 2012 at 11:54 AM
Ah the poor US economy. Now Americans have to give their dongs to the Vietnamese for dollar bills.

"The current factors all support the rise of the dong...." That's due to electoral dysfunction, since President Nixon abandoned the gold standard in 1971.

I'd hate to have my dong out of position. Assuming I had one.

Thus the expression, "In for a dong, in for a dollar."

Actually, that would be "In for 20,830.0 dong, in for a dollar," according to today's exchange rate.
Recently declassified CIA documents reveal that one of our last acts of disinformation was to convince the leadership of North Vietnam, just before we pulled out of the South, that "Dong" was an English word meaning "Shining Currency of the Victorious Revolution." We almost got them to go for "schwazola," but unfortunately someone left behind some old Myron Cohen LPs, and they wised up.
