Well, at least there’s a silver lining to every cloud. Mayor Bloomberg, his tongue planted firmly in his cheek, took to the airwaves Friday morning and addressed the highly publicized prophecy that the End of Times will begin Saturday.

“I can just tell you that official policy from the Sanitation Department and the Department of Transportation,” Bloomberg said. “If the world ends tomorrow, alternate side parking will be suspended.”

“Think about it, if the world ends tomorrow it would fix our traffic problems,” Bloomberg told host John Gambling during his weekly WOR radio appearance. “I don’t think you have to worry about returning library books or parking tickets.”

The Mayor revealed that he won’t be within the city limits Saturday, saying that he’ll be giving a speech in Oklahoma when Judgment Day arrives.

“You’re a brave man,” teased Gambling, “considering after the snowstorm, to be out of town when the world ends. You’re going to be criticized in the newspapers.”

But “The world should not end tomorrow,” Bloomberg said. “It can’t end until at least the Knicks win a championship again … so we got a long time.”
