Most cabbies don't venture down Parnell anymore. They say it's too deadly, a place where their chances of getting beaten or murdered for money outweigh the chances of driving away with a good tip. Somehow, though, the Blue Bunny ice-cream truck seems to enjoy safe passage. Every few hours, the old-fashioned white van graced with a goofy baby-blue rabbit comes rolling up playing Pop Goes the Weasel. But the trip is mostly in vain.

But remember that he's a billionaire investment god. Mere mortals don't have his eye for value...
