Magi spotted moonlighting

Several unemployed Magi were spotted preparing to moonlight outside this garage in rural Virginia last week. As the sun set behind them, two had taken their places on the nocturnal shift while the others were still, apparently, asleep. "It's tough living all year on our yuletide cresh earnings," one Magi said. "And since the frankincense and myrrh market bottomed out, we've got to make ends meet somehow."

I laughed so hard at this, especially the Magi's comment about how hard it is to stretch those seasonal earnings, and the bottoming of the spice market.
Thank you for the grand belly laugh - it's still going!
