1. Pho: We've got a problem. As mature adults, we understand that the first step to recovery is admitting we have a problem. So, out with it: We're addicted to pho. If we could find enough of it to bathe in, we would. If it was available intravenously, we'd shot it up. It pharmaceutical grade pho existed, we'd find a crooked doctor to hook us up.
2. Dong: As mature business professionals, we're embarrassed to be so endlessly amused that the Vietnamese currency is the Dong. And the common denominations are even more humorously large than in Laos. Two Dong to one Kip!!! I'd write a serious commentary on the the inflation of the dong, but well... "I've got a lot of dong burning a whole in my pocket." "Does anyone have any smaller dong." "Gimme a sec and I'll whip out my dong." The sad thing is, I think we're the only tourists to have this much fun with it. Our American born host in Hanoi has been in the country for three years and hasn't heard a single dong joke from any of her many visitors.
