AUSTIN — Herbert Washington, whom co-workers at Significant Plastics Inc. say was unduly concerned with the rapture and the second coming of Christ, suffered a serious heart attack when co-workers pretended they'd been caught away without him.
Last Tuesday, they lay work outfits on their chairs and hid in a supply room, and when Herbert came back from the restroom, he thought the rapture had occurred. The janitor, an outspoken Muslim, pretended to have witnessed everyone disappear and ran around the office feigning panic. Herbert fell to the ground clutching his heart and screaming, "I knew you'd forget me, Jesus! What did I do wrong?" He was taken to a local hospital. The employees emerged, sobered, from the supply room and gathered up their extra clothes.
"We didn't mean to scare him to death," said one woman. "He's just always talking about it, so today we decided to turn the tables on him."
Washington underwent bypass surgery and is recovering well and "digging into the Bible like never before," says his wife.
He must be a Democrat if he’s that gullible.

A co-worker always talking about the rapture would annoy the heck out of me and make me seriously question his sanity, but that was a pretty mean trick. OTOH, I do remember when I was a teen working at a cafeteria and we put a rubber snake in the mop bucket of a guy who was scared to death of snakes.
Lark News fools me every time......................

The rapture seems like pure fiction to me. The guy was probably a real PITA about it. Maybe that cured him.
Other than the heart attack part, that is a really funny joke.
They got me a couple of time, but now any time I see wacky-religion stories I check to see if the source is Lark.
...darn it, Lark caught me again too....
