    Bingley, if you want you can buy into my Zimbabwean dollar investent. You’ll need to rent a box-truck to come over and pick up your portion of the investment.

    Only one thing to do.

    Go big
    Go hard
    Go long like you’ve never been long before in….buggy whip futures. Don’t let others beat you to your position. Can’t miss.

    Bingley, glad to hear your going to get in on this sweet deal. Besides, nothing impresses a hot babe bartender or waitress more than when you whip one of these babies out:
