I got caught out by this. Anyone want to guess which string gets returned by this method?
Raw
implicit_returns_with_ensure.rb
def foo
raise "I iz a fool"
"But you don't know, man"
rescue Exception => e
"I caught your foolness"
ensure
"and I returned you a fish"
end

If that boggled your noggin, try this for size:

def foo
    raise "I iz a fool"
    "But you don't know, man"
rescue Exception => e
    return "I caught your foolness"
ensure
    return "and I returned you a fish"
end
