the apocolypse
So this was someone’s (jfischer) comment on a story at consumerist, but it made me laugh:
Just before “Y2K” was supposed to destroy civilization, I was asked by many of my neighbors if they should stockpile food and water as I was the local high-tech wizard, and was supposed to know all about the situation. I told them “Yes, you should!”
They asked me what specific items I was stockpiling, and I answered “Just guns and ammo”.
They asked me why I wasn’t stockpiling any food and water for myself, and I said “You will have the food and water, and I will have guns and ammo.”
They blanched. I laughed.
