Metallurgy is the oldest profession. They made coins. The next oldest profession is prostitution. They tooketh the first coins, continuing the practice to this very day.
I think prostitution is much older than metallurgy. They have served men long before any coins appeared, using barter exchange.

Wherever you go, there you are.

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?"
