From my Starbucks cup:

The Way I See It #230

Heaven is totally overrated. It seems boring. Clouds, listening to people play the harp. It should be somewhere you can't wait to go, like a luxury hotel. Maybe blue skies and soft music were enough to keep people in line in the 17th century, but Heaven has to step it up a bit. They're basically getting by because they only have to be better than Hell.

--Joel Stein, Columnist for the Los Angeles Times


Is this why the LA Times is failing? This is the best they can do? And seriously, a luxury hotel? This is what he can't wait to get to? Sad. Very sad.

Oh, and check out #220 (For some reason, I can't get the link to go straight to #220, but you can use the previous/next buttons to find it.)

To be fair, you should also read #224. And #225 is hilarious.

I didn't even realize there was anything written on Starbucks cups! To be fair, I've only bought them for other people, but you'd think I would have noticed.

. . . Also, what's the problem with being "better than Hell"?
