Last night, [personal profile] mabfan and I had dinner with the visiting [profile] eireangus, [profile] madknits, and M and L. It was quite fun, as they're all lovely folks to have conversation with. And during the course of dinner, I mentioned the folks who prayed at the Charging Bull for the economy to turn around.

And then I had a vision: From the Custom House, a man comes running down the stairs. He sees the group praying at the bull, and he raises his laptop above his head and then smashes it on the steps of the Custom House.


...Or maybe it's just me.

(Confused? See Exodus chapter 32.)

If the shrubbery nearby starts to blaze up...well, no one can say they didn't see that coming.

Will the earth crack open and swallow the bull?

Will the Traders of Wall Street have to wander forty years in the wilderness before they can become a great nation?

And we see on the screen of the laptop: "Thou shalt not borrow more than thou canst repay."

I just find it funny that not a single organizer realized the underlying symbolism. Not a single one.

I'll settle for them wandering for forty years in the wilderness.

For my money, this is the best part: "And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people".

No kidding, really? Who knew? And when, when O lord, are you going to make with the smiting of these traders? And I don't mean their bank accounts; I want to see some fire and brimstone. For I am a jealous human, and my wrath waxes hot against them.

Thanks for pointing it out-I needed a funny today.
