Quote of the day

[xela]

Listening to NPR just now, where they did the only Rapture store that didn't leave me wanting to shout Why are you wasting out time on this? A guy in NH runs a post-Rapture-pet-rescue business, in which fools part with their money in return for a guarantee that their pets will be taken care of after the Rapture. At the close of the story, the reporter asked if he was expecting to be busy rescuing pets tomorrow. To which he replied (sorry to say this is my reconstruction):

No. But I expect to be busy fielding calls from a lot of disappointed Rapture-believers, who will be doubly disappointed when they learn we don't give refunds.

Yes!

I heard about that business, and I remain mightily disappointed that I didn't think of it first. File that one away for the next crazy doomsday prediction, though.
(I also loved that as a condition of employment, he was having his probably-mostly-atheist workers blaspheme in writing, to ensure to everyone's satisfaction that they'd still be here to do their jobs.)
