I use this one all the time, along with calling back a person who just walked away upon ending our conversion, e.g., "Hey, Joe, come back here for a sec, I have a question." Upon his arrival back I ask, "How far would've have gotten if I hadn't called you back?"

Here's mine

Your average healthy man produces approximately 300 million sperm in just a teaspoon of his semen. However, it only takes one little swimmer to fertilize a woman’s egg and it can live for up to a week inside your body.

But if it lives for two weeks before starting to become a baby, it grows to become a Leroy "HAHAHA" Fodor.

I think prostitution is much older than metallurgy. They have served men long before any coins appeared, using barter exchange.
