..my boss bought this HUGE, life-sized (or would that be death-sized?) Grim Reaper that adorned our office right up until the bewitching hour on Oct 31st.

After that, he moved it so that it stands right in the doorway to my office.

We work in a small office, and every day for the past week I've walked around the corner and have been startled by Mr Grim.  I literally jump every single day.

Me: "Doot-do-doo...
doo-dee-doot dooYAAAAAAA!"










Oh, and yes.  He has a nametag. 
(Don't call him "Mortie," though.  He HATES that...)

I will NEVER understand Japanese culture.

Q:  There's an empty seat beside you on the public bus...




 




...guess who's going to fill it at the next bus stop?
