Apparently, the ever-impending apocalypse was not so good for the Bank of Ephraim in Utah. They just went belly-up from all those good Mormons who wanted to be a little more liquid before the end-time.

Quoting Betty Bowers:
"Apocalyptic Christmas shopping carries the added burden of knowing that each gift you give may be your last chance to make a good impression -- and with Judgment Day fast approaching, that has never been more important. Furthermore, returns and exchanges will be difficult once the Almighty has turned every department store into smoldering heaps of tinsel and flaming pools of $80 French moisturizer."
"Angels always give the worst advice, but they can hire the sharpest lawyers."
