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 today.

    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."

    Does this mean that Italians being known for being "as"- pinchers is really the same as being penny- pinchers?

    As it happens, that was the final outcome of that particular job for me.

    I wonder if it had anything to do with the Roman coin prank. Hmm... image

    And now there's another Roman coin prank.

    This one will only cause stupified, uncomprehending looks from your coworkers, unless you happen to work in the numismatic field.

    So let's try it on a forum where Roman coin experts hang out, and see what reactions we get, shall we?


    Ha. I crack me up. image
