Well, perhaps "magus" used to represent wisdom....

[B]wise guys?? heh heh

I get a picture of a couple of Italian American "gentlemen" showing up at the manger;

Wise Guy 1:'Scuse us ma'am, but da boss sent us to pay his respects on dis, da day of your baby's birth, and ta give ya this Rolex watch, this Frankenstein...

Wise Guy 3: Dat's da gol' Rolex and dem franks'n'beans, ain't dey?

Wise Guy 2: pssst that's frankinCENSE...

Wise Guy 1: errr yeah, what he said....and dis bomb....

Wise Guy 3: Da more is a bomb?

Wise Guy 2: no dat's BALM!

Wise guy 1: yeah da kind dat don't go boom.... anyhow when youse accept these gifts, you gotta remember dat sometime later da boss will want youse son to do a "favah", and he will be obliged to do it ya know.......

Wise Guy 3: <stage whisper> I tot we wuz spoze to deliver da gol' watch, da franks'n'beans and more.... The "more" is a bomb? Or more bombs?

Wise Guy 2: <stage whisper> It's frankincense, and MYRRH, ya knucklehead, not "more". An' dare is NO bombs. Myrrh is a balm, like yer hemarrhoid cream.

Wise Guy 3: Dis baby's got hemarrhoids? Man, talk about a tough start... Anybody wanna bet he comes to a bad end?

I'll give ya good odds...



......

Any chance it was supposed to be the Three Wise Goys?
