I consider Wal-Mart to be God's gift to shoppers. Literally, here are the similitudes I have noticed between The kingdom of Heaven and The Kingdom of Everyday Low Prices. Heaven: St. Peter greets you at the gates. Wal-Mart: Some old geezer named Peter greets you at the automatic doors. Heaven: Eternal Wal-Mart: Open 24 hours Heaven: Where old people go when they expire. Wal-Mart: Where old people go when the retire. Heaven: Plenty of Room for everyone who loves God. Wal-Mart: Plenty of Parking for Everyone. Heaven: Golden-haired angels shouting the glory of God. Wal Mart: Purple-haired obese women shouting for a price check on diapers. Heaven: Salvation and redemption no matter what your sin. Wal-Mart: Full money refund on no matter what your complaint. Heaven: EDLP = Every Do-gooder lives peacefully. Wal-Mart: EDLP = Every day low prices. Heaven: Sam Walton -- now a resident! Wal-Mart: Sam's choice cola -- now on sale! |
