Workers from Doctors Without Borders, Mercy Corps, and the Ford Foundation, could be seen throwing their name tags into piles of burning medical supplies, blankets, food, and bottled water. Librarians braved the smoke to add copies of the works of Homer, Sophocles, Shakespeare, and Tom Clancy, to the flames.

"No, no," said the Chief Deputy Assistant Chiefs of Development at Mercy Corps, etc. "we haven't yet converted all the one-time donors into repeat donors. Ladies, Gentlemen, throw not yourselves into the flames until we can all go together, on a more regular basis. If the End of the World is Nigh, yea verily the end of the fiscal year is also pretty close. Maybe you could postpone killing yourselves until Jan. 2, when our donor goals have been met? Is this too much to ask?"
