The day after yesterday !

So apparently there is a 2012 woody impersonator on the loose...

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/22/us-apocalypse-prediction-idUSTRE74I3KS20110522

...and with Britney Spears’ “Till the world ends” making the charts across the world, one wonders what got this into the 89 year old’s head...or was it the other way around?!

But honestly, this isn’t the first proclamation of the ‘end of the world’ or the apocalypse! And while each time the world shudders at the thought of vanishing into the thin air or perhaps crumbling into dust, Ramlal can’t help but wonder how the close to 7 billion people of the world would be judged....I mean wouldn’t that take an eternity in itself !!

So thus, on this, “The day after yesterday”, Ramlal wonders what it would really be like...

.....drifting into imagination...

All the souls are escorted to the judgement arena and handed out forms, forms to be filled in detail, then evaluated and then judgement is made ! As you will see it could be well...worse than hell itself..

---break to scene---

Ramlal has justed waited for 42 days in line waiting for his turn to hand in the form...he finally gets to the counter...

Angel at counter (AAC): forms please...

(Ramlal hands over the forms...)

AAC: where is your proof of religion?

Ramlal: errrm I am a Roman Catholic....

AAC: yeah...yeah....and I am the Son of God...where is your document? If we don’t know your religion, how do we know which rules to judge you by?

Ramlal: But where do I get this...?

AAC: Well, if you say you are a Catholic then you need a letter from one of the Popes/ !

Ramlal: And how would the Popes know my religion?

AAC: Get a letter from your parish priest....take that to the Archbishop..he will issue another letter...take that to a cardinal...he will issue the letter you need for the pope ! And remember, the Pope’s letter must have the Vatican seal ..

Ramlal: But..but...

AAC: And complete your sins screening form (hands back form)...you haven’t answered question 8 – Have you committed adultery? !

Ramlal: This is gonna take forever !!

AAC: You can stay in purgatory till then..

Ramlal: Isnt there a faster way?

AAC: Yeah....confession...why do you think the confessional has such a long line!

Ramlal: Confess? ...but Im on trial !!
