I popped in for a pint earlier. What a bad fucking idea that was. The bad weather meant that some stupid old fart decided to pop into the pub too.
“It’s the end of the world, I’m telling you”
Takes drink of beer, wipes mouth with back of hand and thinks to self. “Have I walked into the fucking twilight zone here or what?”
“First there’s floods, then quakes and pestilence”. Stupid fucker. “So” I says “So I understand about the floods and the quakes but what is the pestilence? Honestly, I’m at a loss”. The man’s face became even more smug and fascinated with himself than before. “You don’t read the papers, do you. Well, the pestilence is avian flu”
What a cunt! If I were a God wreaking vengeance on mankind, I would not make a few chickens sick and make life difficult for the Bernard Matthews of this world. It’s not wrathful enough.
My kind of pestilence would be a proper one, with people all covered in sticky seeping boils. Or vomiting up fire with blood streaming from their eyeballs. And the groaning of the sufferers would set their teeth, which had not already crumbled into dust, on edge. And the terrible gut wrenching pains in the abdomen would cause people to rip their own stomachs open and pull out their intestines and strangle each other with them. The final throes of the pestilence would have everyone twitching away on the floor and I, as God would look down and see that the way the poor bastards bodies would fall to the ground, would spell out “All knowing Matt was right”.
Anyway, because I am not a total cunt, I do not believe the world is going to end one little bit, and quite frankly I find the neck of the people who keep on about it quite astonishing. Before the millennium they were all at it. Reading the fucking Revelations and giving a countdown to the big day. Which as it turned out was very uneventful and dull indeed. Even that gay computer virus thing didn’t happen. The millennium was utter shite and not all dangerous and world ending.
Then nine yawny eleven happened and there they were! The armageddon freaks, all scratching around in the bible, finding gibberish verses about towers burning. Then there was that bloody tsunami and that storm in America and they were off again with the “end is nigh” nonsense.
They have shot themselves in both feet. Those fuckwits who believe in the end of the world, because no God would bother stringing the end of the world out this long, it loses the impact. If you went to a firework display and a few rockets went off and then you had to wait for a half an hour for the catherine wheel and then another hour for the amazing sky bombs you’d not think it was all that much of a display, would you. The world is not going to end.
That old bastard ruined my pint. I hope he fell down a deep, dark, soggy hole on the way home.
THE END!
PS
Short arses should not be allowed carry umbrellas. I don’t give a flying fuck if they get soaked to the skin, catch pneumonia and nearly die. It’s much easier for them to dry themselves off than it is for me to unpuncture my eyeball, the poxy wee bastards. I’m nearly fucking blind here!
