an end
The 'would be' answer, for the question which is becoming more and more frequently asked without expecting a response:
"What is the world coming to?"
You step out of Tim Horton's with your best friend,
suddenly, you are mugged of your coffee.
Your friend turns to you as you stare in disbelief, and says:
"Wow, mugged for a coffee.  What's the world coming to?"
you can reply:
"An end."
