Attention: Sarcastic members.
The following is a bit form my novel I'm writing. It takes place in the near future in a shanty town in a desolate region of what was once the US. The standard of living is crappy, to put it mildly,and one of the inhabitants has stood up and started screaming a Doomsday prophecy.
Just respond to the following as if you were already there:
"I have seen the end of the world!" thundered Younger. "I have seen the firestorm that shall wipe the planet clean in days! All of this has appeared in my dreams. It is a warning! And with that warning comes knowledge; knowledge on how to stop the end and in its place bring about a new beginning!"
If anyone chooses to criticize the writing keep in mind the guy is not religious and is making it up as he goes along, trying to sound overly dramatic and like a preacher. So I think the dialogue fits the character.
But anyway, I need sarcastic remarks for the responses from the crowd, so don't contribute if you don't want your words in the book.

I've seen the end too. The end of my boot up your ass.
Younger, you need to lay off the drugs alright? Seriously. I'm worried about you man.
And would this new beginning come with orgies? Because if not, you can shove it.

And the witty one that couldn't be used because of the fact that no one would know of this in some post-apocolyptic world:
"Ice would also suffice!"
