There's a lengthy apprenticeship process but basically, they take a 
look at you and can tell right off if you're apocalypse fodder. I 
showed up wearing a G.G. Allin tshirt and Birkenstocks, but the camo 
pants gave me away and thus I was granted a work visa in Hell to 
begin my mentoring.

Thanks! People seem to enjoy it, which suggests that "Apocalypse
