The following quote is from the bastion of truth and science, The New York Posts on-line edition. “A massive comet — so large that scientists had previously mistaken it for a dwarf planet — is hurtling through space toward our solar system and is expected to arrive in about 10 years.”
The downside is the total destruction of the Earth and the end of the human race. But there are many upsides as well.
- For those who believe they have earned a place in heaven it’s all good. Certainly provisions are being made as we speak to avoid the housing shortage that is sure to occur with a surge in new apartment seekers.
- The time frame coincides with the estimated demise of Social Security funding so, no longer a problem!
- Think about the wild gala the night before it hits. That’s a party I want to attend.
In truth, there is nothing to worry about; a simple solution. Richard Branson will provide a Virgin Galactic shuttle to the rock as it approaches. We get Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Steve Buscemi and Billy Bob Thornton to fly up and set the explosive charges, same as they did in the 1998 documentary about this day, “Armageddon.“
(Note: For those concerned about Bruce Willis ability to save the world at his age know that Jason Statham is ready to step into his role).
Sometimes, as Oscar Wilde pointed out, “Life imitates Art.”
