Well, I did see someone ask who the third pitchman was going to be. McMahon, Mays…?

Gack.

What about Billy Mays? Does that it make it a rule of fours now?

I didn’t believe in the rule of threes either…until I learned that Billy Mays, the OxiClean guy, just died. It all makes sense now….

Ben, Cliff would be appalled by that, I think.

So you’re saying that things don’t come in threes but can come in twos fours and elevens? Okay, so we have The Father, The Son, The Holy Ghost, and … Cliff The Barber?

I wish there was a rule of fives and Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Rielly were flying around in the Bermuda Pentagon.

@becca: that’s the rule of trees you’re thinking of.

We can’t give up on threes until we list Ann Coulter with Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

Actually, if Ann Coulter were to pass on as well, who would explain the world to angry conservatives?

It is a terrible problem to have. Optionally, of course, we could give up on the whole notion of magical threes.
