Playing FTSE

You may have heard the old joke of the guy who named his dog, "Sex."  It was printed by Ann Landers years ago, and has now been around the Internet a few times too.  There are different versions, with excuses for light double-entendres: "Sex keeps me up at night," "I only had Sex before I got married," etc.

I was reminded of this joke recently, when I found out that the Moscow stock exchange is the Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange, which is abbreviated, "Micex" and pronounced "mice-X," or if you prefer, "my sex."  So now there's an excuse for a whole new generation of jokes: My sex is improving, lots of people are interested in my sex, my sex brings in a lot of money.
