Colonel Rhino: Hey, I could sure use J.J. Putz. He would make my team unbeatable. What would it take to get him?
FungoDude: How about two picks this year, your first three picks next year, AND I get to pick a reliever off your team next off season?
CR: But you can't take Putz back.
FD: Right, but I CAN take Joba Chamberlain.
CR: Deal.

CR: Dang, even though I took Joba with the 4th pick in the draft, I can't see any way for him to make my team.
Pigman: Trade Joba to me!!!
CR: Whaddaya got?
P: Soiled boxers and Thin Mints.
CR: A whole box?!?
P: Half a box.
CR: Deal!
(5 minutes later)
FD: Boy, with all these picks next year and Joba Chamberlain, we could be great again!
CR: You have Joba Chamberlain?
FD: No, but I will have next year when I claim him off of your team.
CR: I traded him to the Warpigs for soiled boxers and a box of Thin Mints.
P: Half a box.
CR: Half a box.
FD: WTF!

Chief Wahoo: Hey Colonel Rhino, would you trade me Brad Lidge for all of my draft picks for the next five years?
CR: Nah, that wouldn't be fair to the Fungoes.
CW: WTF!
FD: WTF!
Nice but he didn't yet have Joba when we made our deal. But I do understand the "soiled" feelings.
