Johnny foreigner: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/24/police-confiscate-345000-recycled-condoms-in-vietnam

The only way that story can be improved upon is if a news outlet has the guts to go with what the woman was paid per kilo of recycled rubbers in local currency.

At the current rate of exchange, £0.13 is roughly 3833 đồng.

PJ O'Rourke once noted that if the Vietnamese really wanted to be taken seriously as a trading nation they’d change the name of their currency, or else be left standing with their dongs in their hands.

I loved the comment from the Polish Navy spokesman:

"The deflagration process turned into detonation. The object can be considered neutralised, it will not pose any more threat to the Szczecin-Swinoujscie shipping channel."

Interesting use of "neutralised" there. ;D
