I was recently perusing a story on the Beeb website around unusual & pointless job titles (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/magazine/8570244.stm) when amongst the comments was 'Mortality Manager'.
This set me thinking that maybe this was the official title for Mr G Reaper, alas the commentee was not a G Reaper but a nurse!!!
This then led to a thought on who would cover for Mr Reaper when he take a holiday. If indeed he does, and even if he is a he!
After a lenghty discussion in the work room, it was mainly decreed that if Mr Grim (We had (Royal We) decided that he is indeed a he and he does take holidays) that Davy Jones covered and vice versa.
It must be an amusing site to see Mr G in a scuba suit!

If you'd read your Pratchett, you'd know that Death doesn't need cover for his holidays due to his ability to step outside of time.
ReplyDeleteHe did have an apprentice once which was a bit of a disaster. And one time he just upped and left and a variety of other deaths popped up in his place.
