    Headline: Vietnam's Devaluation Helps Shore Up Dong, but Problems Remain

    Headline on graphic: Downward facing dong

    Good news! "Now, one U.S. dollar will buy 18,544 dong, compared with 17,941 dong earlier in the week." Is that plural correct?

    Perhaps they need a stimulus package.

    Perhaps they can convert some of their farms to cucumber farms, thus making the rest of the world think their economy is larger than it really is.

    If your dong is shored up for four hours or more, please see a doctor.

    In America, a woman who begs for dong is a skanky bitch.

    In Vietnam, she's just broke.
