How about

1.9.3p125 :001 > foo = 3
  => 3
1.9.3p125 :002 > MIN=0
  => 0
1.9.3p125 :003 > MAX=10
  => 10
1.9.3p125 :004 > foo < MIN && MIN || foo > MAX && MAX || foo
  => 3
1.9.3p125 :005 > foo = 11
  => 11
1.9.3p125 :006 > foo < MIN && MIN || foo > MAX && MAX || foo
  => 10
1.9.3p125 :007 > foo = -1
  => -1
1.9.3p125 :008 > foo < MIN && MIN || foo > MAX && MAX || foo
  => 0
