The driver told police he was looking into his rear-view mirror and when he looked back up, the train crossing arms were down.

Wait, I thought all you needed to project future market returns was a ruler. Am I missing something?

Mr Slippery,

You've got the ruler, but you are missing the angry nun!

Badum-ching. ;)

I took piano lessons from a nun as a kid. She hit me with a ruler when I played the wrong notes, but she was never angry about it. I lived the dream.

Yeah, what is it with nuns and measuring sticks? Must be habit forming!

Religious puns? I'll have nun of it!

Mr Slippery,

I would be a fantastic pianist had I had that training, or I would be typing this with my nose. Tough call. ;)

mab,

Religious puns, eh?

I Noah slow pun. They don't call me Stagflationary Ark for nothing.

I Noah violent one. It's full of flood lust.

I also Noah pair. 2x2 they lumbered in. Woodn't you know it?

And in the big inning, God created a grand slam. The ball tended to break fast, but Denny was all over it! :)

Two pigs on the ark?
Noah had a Ham.
Noah got hammered.
More pigs on the ark.

mab,

Sandwich that ham using cheese and honey. Bee deviled. Don't use swiss though, if you want unholey matrimony.

The end of days justifies the averages. 666 on the S&P. It's the number of the roast so we're alll going to get burned. There's going to be one hell of a poker game though, assuming you can ante christ.
