Camels, the rich, and eyes of needles spring to mind.  looks like that other thread here, the Characteristics of NT Christians one otta be replete with admonitions of poverty.

Apparently Camels may be a mistranslation and it should be rope through the eye of a needle, which makes much more sense.

I always figure camels went easier thru the eye because they didn't have filters.
