Then let's say the whole state of California is leveled by a massive earthquake, while the rest of the planet is covered in rain, hail, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and typhoons, all while man-eating predator tribes of extraterrestrials have landed on the White House lawn and laid claim to planet Earth...plus, your phone doesn't work 'cause of Y2K, you can use the walkie-talkie to contact me for help, OK? Jazmine: Is all that stuff really going to happen? Huey: Who knows? But with Armageddon it's better to be safe than sorry. Jazmine: Oh well, thank you for the thingee. Huey: No problem. Have a nice day. Jazmine: (sigh) The day after Christmas...A happy Jazmine...A very happy Jazmine... The day after Christmas...An unhappy Jazmine...A very unhappy Jazmine...
