Rapturous Applause

Lots of people are talking about it, so I feel sort of obligated to discuss tomorrow's impending Rapture. (Oh br-rother.) In particular, a lot of people have been making fun of the places offering post-Rapture care for your pets. And why not? It's a veritable comedic gold mine!

Here's my attempt to mine a few veins too:

First, why bother? Don't we know that All Dogs Go to Heaven? (Also, Sheep Go to Heaven -- though goats go to hell.)

But more importantly... if you truly believe you're going to be Raptured up to heaven, do you really want to entrust the care of your pet to one of the heathens who was left behind? "Meh, he's not good enough for God, but he's good enough for Fido." And do you really believe that a person who wasn't honorable enough to go to heaven will somehow be honorable enough to keep his promise to watch your pet for you? While there's hell on Earth and a short fuse lit to the end of everything?

Wait. My bad. These people believe the actual Rapture is going to occur tomorrow. Belief in a person who will watch their pet for them makes total sense by comparison.
