Laughed at work today

While poking through the Administrative Rules of one of the states, I found this:

§114.7 Certification Process
(a) The director shall request review and approval of the Association by forwarding a summary of the relevant application information after the director deems the application complete and finds the applicant's financial information required under §114.3 of this title (relating to Application Form and Financial Information Requirements) reflects one of the following qualifying financial ratings:
(1) Dun & Bradstreet rating of 3A1 or better;
(2) Standard & Poor's rating of BBB or better;
(3) Moody's rating of Baa or better; or
(4) minimum tangible net worth of $5 million with a ratio of tangible net worth to long-term debt of 1.5 to one or greater.

What does it take, one wonders, to get Moody's coveted Baa rating? Must your coat be especially fluffy?

Now I'd expect Aberforth to have a Baa rating, not Moody. ;-)

Argh! Why didn't I think of that?!!

Beautiful. *applauds*

I think that to secure a "Baa" rating, one needs to have a coat fluffy enough to enable a good grip. Or else, fitted handles.

...god. I really shouldn't be reading the flist before coffee.

Waa-hahaha to you and your comments!

As for an actual answer: you must best Mad-eye in a game of Settlers of Catan- a game in which it is possible to say with an actual purpose for playing the game, "I have wood for sheep".

*laughs* You have my vote for the Moody Baa rating. ;)

[virtual-gravy.livejournal.com]

Rock on!! How many noninations do you need to get one?

Hmmm. I'm not sure. I think that at least one sheep is involved, though. Have you any sheep testimonials? :)
