Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 15, 2024

Awkward segueway for sure.

The other job with security is tax collector.

I signed up for cremation and the salesman said " We’re all in Gods waiting room", gave a a giggle

Hmm. Yep: the worse a job is, the fewer people who want it.

There’s no down side for the Reaper, only for his victims.

It’s piece work, lots of overtime, he has to supply and sharpen his own scythe and the pay rate hasn’t changed since forever.

“Not today!!!”

Death of the Martini.

Without an oesophagus or stomach, where does the gin and vermouth go, not to mention the olive(s)? What a waste of good booze.

The downside of being Death/the Grim Reaper is that it is hard to form any long-term relationships.

Most popular guy in town because everyone is just dying to meet him. Guess he’s stopping in at the bar after a hard day at work for a cold one or a stiff drink. Badda BING Thank you. Thank you very much. The Count will be here all week. Don’t forget to tip the waitresses. Drive safely on the way home and God Bless.

Hmmm. Interesting but why are all the picture frames empty? Did we run out of ink?

“It would be ironic if he choked on the olive. But darned if I would perform the Heimlich Maneuver on him!”

As the cloaked one hums contentedly …

My view of Death was forever changed by Terry Pratchett: “DON’T THINK OF IT AS DYING, said Death. JUST THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH.” Terry, we miss you.

Normally I would’ve expected to see that Wiley had named the bar something like the Samarra Tavern.

“I USHERED SOULS INTO THE NEXT WORLD. I WAS THE GRAVE OF ALL HOPE. I WAS THE ULTIMATE REALITY. I WAS THE ASSASSIN AGAINST WHOM NO LOCK WOULD HOLD."

“Yes, point taken, but do you have any particular skills?”

― Terry Pratchett, Mort

well, there will always be someone waiting….

Where’s Binky?

Ask about the retirement policy and package.

Who does death wear on casual day?

I have not found that to be the case. The worst managers always use the threat of firing.

Little Black Peep has lost his sheep

The shrouded one will collect his coins crossing the river Styx.

As long as you don’t eat the salmon mousse it’s all good.

There’s a good living to be made in death.

Job security AND martinis, can’t get any better than that.

Death Takes a Happy Hour.

Well, the fellow with the scythe is ever going to be out of work …

Set of 4 YooToob links disappeared. Toob bad, they were great animated stories. GCNanny, you’re no fun.

Death has to take very Small sips to keep it from dripping off his/her ribs onto the hipbone and the bar stool.
