They work well at getting posers to shut up though. Back around '88 or so, my wife and I went to eat at one of the restaurants that were in Parkwood Mall. About 5 young guys sitting in a booth behind us were talking trash to the rather cute waitress. They had made a comment about being in Grp and when she asked what they did, one of them said "if I tell you, I have to kill you." When she came by I loaned her my coin and told her what to do with it. She threw it on their table and after some initial "oh shit, where did you get that?" She calmly told them "If I tell you, I have to kill you." My wife about fell out her chair. Made the waitresses' night too.
