They say what goes ’round, comes ’round and I suspect they are right.

“It’s the 1950’s all over again,” Juanita announces.

And U.S. companies selling doomsday bunkers are seeing sales skyrocket anywhere from 20% to 1,000%.

“I guess that whole crawl under your desk and cover your head thing isn’t working out, because now these bunkers are costing up to $20 million.  Personally, I figure they’re about as good as a paper grocery bag over your head.  Besides, if they don’t work, who are you gonna complain to?  Oh yeah, Bob’s Bunker Builders stand behind their products.  If you can find Bob and he’s standing, you get your money back.  Of course, if your bunker didn’t work, you won’t be in the complaint line, which is a big relief for Bob.”

“Plus,” she continues, “you think the minimum wage workers building these things aren’t leaving a trap door for themselves?”

“Look, she continues, “I heard the other day that to get people to do something, they have to be inspired, scared or mad.  It seems that we’ve given up on inspired since the last Presidential election, the Teabaggers gave mad a bad name, so all we have left is scared.”

“I think we here at The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc. are gonna start marketing us a Genuine Real Nuclear Invisible Shield, cleverly disguised as a simple baseball cap.  It’ll protect you from nuclear fallout, bunions, annoying paper cuts, a tragic zombie attack.  Just $99.99.  And that’s not all.  If you order within the next three months, you also get this lovely super duper genuine faux pearl necklace that wards off earthquakes, polar ice cap slides, and Mormons.”

Don’t be caught unprepared!
