>>It kinda makes you wonder just what would Pres. Bush HAVE told us?? What's the plan for an asteroid hit?
On less than 24 hours' notice? Not much more than "Duck!".
"Duck" works.
Several other things also come to mind:
"Repent! The end is near!"
and
"Kiss your ass goodbye."
As an aside, this line from the Toho Japanese monster movies never seemed to do much good:
"Remain calm. Leave the town in an orderly fashion. Don't panic!"
Last summer I was exiting my front door when I saw a large green streak coming down from the sky and disappearing over the horizon. I had no idea how large it was, but it looked huge. I knew that if it was as huge as it looked I was over! Funny thing is I just stood there waiting--nothing happened--so I went on. Later I heard a lot of people saw it, a meteorite that evidentally burned up in the atmosphere. I will never forget that helpless and then "oh well" feeling I had while waiting to see if my time was up.
There I feel better for having told you all. Mrs PD
