#068 Man in Black

“Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, to Heavenly Meadows. Open day and night to serve your afterlife needs.”

:groan:

How droll. The computer helps the living decide what they want. I deal with the dead. They talk less and ultimately end up with whatever I give them.

Take this couple as an example. Innocently planning to make their afterlife arrangements easier and more efficient for loved ones and friends. HA!

I wear black so I can lurk in dark corners of the room where they can’t see me smiling as they give us all their money and I give ‘em hell!


… Well, we’re doin’ mighty fine, I do suppose
In our streak of lightnin’ cars and fancy clothes
But just so we’re reminded of the ones who are held back
Up front there ought to be a man in black
