Rapture Heating and Air Conditioning

Another of my interesting Florida experiences was a billboard I saw. In Leesburg there is a billboard advertising "Rapture Heating and Air Conditioning." Obviously, the owner is a Christian (or maybe his name is Rapture?). The "t" on the billboard is a cross. Assuming he is a Christian, it begs for someone to ask about the rapture part of his business. At the rapture we will not require heating or air! Not being insensitive, but when a Christian dies, heating and AC are no longer important. And when a nonChristian dies, he may need a significant amount of AC, but I am not sure the Rapture company can provide it!

It reminds me of a joke told by a dentist. He said it was his Christian duty to fix and repair teeth. He said that the Bible says that heaven is a land flowing with milk and honey. He said that when people die and go to heaven it will be awful for them to have to gnaw their honey.

And he said hell was described as a place of weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. He said it would be awful for everybody else to be gnashing their teeth and one toothless person not having teeth to gnash. He said it was his duty to fix teeth!

I am sure there is a sermon in there somewhere!
