Remember To Smile Pretty

if an atomic bomb is dropped, the cockroaches will survive. we might not make it, but they will. They always have. during the ice age, during the pandemics, during Armageddon. they have the inside track on how to outlive everyone. roach motels will take on a new meeting you will have roach designers, roach engineers, roach undertakers no one will scream "ooh!" when they see a roach roaches will become the mayor, governor and president if you are the only person who survives, enjoy the cockroaches. your doctor, dentist, pharmacist and teachers will be of this species. they will push you under a microscope to figure out how you survived. remember not to squirm and smile pretty.
