Sooo…this happened. Don’t worry, though, they’re gonna be conferenced in and won’t miss a thing (and Blankfein will get to do it sans pants, as is his wont. Everybody wins). Other excuses they considered going with:
* All three had cramps (they’re on the same cycle)
* Car trouble
* Too hung over
* Just not feeling it
* Blankfein had to wash his hair
* Your call

    Word around the campfire is they couldn’t get the plane off the ground due to the weight of Bloyd’s scrot. NY1 was rolling video of the scrot hanging out the emergency exit door, sparking as it dragged across the tarmac.

    Religious conflict–too busy doing God’s work to meet a guy believed to be the Messiah(we didn’t believe the first one that tried this on, we sure as heck aren’t going to be duped by this one).

    There was a ton of ground fog here in D.C. this morning — many flights were grounded and some even had to divert. So this excuse is plausible, although there’s always the Acela.

    How does Lloyd get through the screening process at the airport with a gold plated scrotum? FYI, I’m not going to be the low bidder on doing that job.
