First off, you can make it more efficient if your use `yield' instead of 
calling the block explicitly:

   class Q
     def self.get
       if block_given?
         yield Resource.new
       else
         Resource.new
       end
     end
   end

The above is what I'd go with, but there a lots of ways to accomplish 
what you want. Take this for example:

   class Q
     def self.get
       yield resource = Resource.new
     rescue LocalJumpError
       resource
     end
   end

or even shorter (though it'll catch other exceptions as well, so you 
have to be careful)

   class Q
     def self.get
       yield(resource = Resource.new) rescue resource
     end
   end
