Rapture Sometime After Lunch

Harold Camping, the radio host who predicted the biblical Rapture on Saturday, May 21, now says he's expecting it sometime shortly after his Super Bird platter at his local Denny's Restaurant.
"The End Times will surely begin before this combination of turkey and bacon has the chance to rain heartburn on me," said the president of the California-based Family Radio.
Shirley Camping, Harold's wife, said she's had it with his numerological predictions.
"Sunday he said it would happen before sun-down, then he said the Rapture would sync-up with the end of 'Dancing with the Stars,'" said Shirley.
"I think he's using it as an excuse not to put his clothes in the hamper."
Family friend Richard Hampton has a different theory.
"He's 89! For him, the End Times are coming," said Hampton. "He also says the Japanese are sneaky. Why are you listening to an old man?"
Camping, you may recall, had previously predicted the Rapture would take place in 1988 and 1994.
Now he seems to be using it as a way to parse out his day.
"Our waitress Cindy never brought me my side of mayo," muttered Camping.
"Her soul will burn by tea time. I guarentee."
