Earlier, I wrote about a group that has decided the rapture is coming May 21,2011. That's just three days from today. The original post was called Noah Knew.
So I guess that some doubters have come up with a way to profit from the event. For somewhere between $20 and $135, those who have confidence in the prediction can make sure their pets are well cared for after they're gone.
Rather than poke fun at anybody - and for all I know they may be right, and if the rapture happens Saturday, I hope it's in the early morning because it would get me out of a little league baseball game.- Anyway, rather than poke fun, I thought I would highlight a pretty well thought out business idea.
Just look at the benefits of this business model:
- It provides peace of mind for those leaving - that in itself is worth the small fee.
- It makes money for the enterprising people who thought of it.
- It keeps stray pets off of the street and out of people's garbage cans.
- It comes with a 10 year margin of error. Who else provides that flexibility?
- And if the rapture occurs, it should dramatically reduce the cost of Chinese food in just about every city in America.
But I could never be a customer. I have a dog, and really enjoy her. But it's just a damn dog. If it dies, I'll get another one.
