In which i’m the grim reaper — repost

I was having a conversation the other day (that seems to be a common theme on this blog) and I was explaining the following:

Me:                  I think that I would be an awesome Grim Reaper

Other:             Grim Reaper?

Me:                  yeah, you know.  The guy who is death

Other:             Does the Grim Reaper even exist?

Me:                  Of course it does.  Haven’t you seen “meet Joe Black” with Brad Pitt?

Other:             I’m not sure it’s real…

Me:                  sheesh… anyways, I think I’d look awesome as the Grim Reaper

Other:             How’s that?

Me:                  Well, first I look really good in black …

Other:             Black?

Me:                  Yeah BLACK.  The grim reaper wears a huge black robe and I look good in black.

Other:             What else?

Me:                  The Grim Reaper carries around a scythe…

Other:             A scythe?

Me:                  Yeah, how SICK is that?  Soooo awesome

Other:             What does he do with the scythe?

Me:                  How the hell should I know?  Perhaps he just mows down lives…

Other:             What else?

Me:                  I think I’d be good at culling people

Other:             Why do you say that?

Me:                  I’m always good at getting rid of clutter so I’d just basically unclutter the world.

Other:             Who would you get rid of?

Me:                  First of all.  I’d get rid of stupid people.

Other:             okayyyyyy

Me:                  … and ignorant and annoying people as well.  Just your basic superfluous person.  GONE!!

Other:             wouldn’t you feel guilty?

Me:                  I assume that once you’re actually the Grim Reaper you wouldn’t have a guilty conscience.  The ability to smote people down without guilt has GOT to be in the job description, don’t cha think?

Other:             I’m not sure that there is an actual job description.

Me:                  You know, you suck at these types of conversations.
