Hmm..  The parable of the talents is quite gnomic really. Is it a
counterbalance to the 'eye of the needle' comment, or should we not
identify God with the tyrannical lord whose story he tells and instead
see the parable as a description of the injustice of this world (as
opposed to the next)?  Whichever, I don't think Jesus would have
looked so kindly upon Zacchaeus if he'd hidden in his tree and shouted
out requests for tips in the 4.20 at Cheltenham.
 
I promise not to talk scripture anymore.  I just thought that as
off-topic tangents go it was more interesting than indie minutiae.
