Happy Reaper

The grim reaper really scares people because he is so grim. This can't be good for anyone. No one should have to put up with this type of existence for so long, so I propose a make-over. Gone would be that hooded cowl and rusting scythe and in its place would be a sporty suit, much like the Armani one that Gerry Adams wears as he folics the peacelines of Belfast scattering discarded munitions to the happy folk dancing merrily in his wake. The scythe could become something a little more appropriate as well - I mean most crops are harvested these days by mechanical means, so I'm suggesting a brightly painted strimmer. He could also have a pet - a happy, non-gene spliced, barking zebra rat that only lives in his world and is therefore immune from deletion.
