That’s funny, I’ve seen TMOL many times; I clearly remember “every sperm is sacred”, the teacher giving a live Sex Ed demo with his wife to bored students, of course Mr. Creosote and the after dinner mint, but I can’t picture what Death looked like. Probably spot-on, though. ---

You’re right, I totally spaced on the actual question. [facepalm] I guess I’ll go with the Grim Reaper from “The Regular Show”. ---

I thought of another possible option: Dr. Oppenheimer. Your end will be neither peaceful nor caring, but it would certainly be impressive. Oh, or Shiva, I suppose. But the quote is much more epic from him than from her, I think. ---

I’d prefer it be someone like Conductor 71 from _A Matter of Life and Death_ But I’m resigned to the possibility it will be like the company commander who met me at boot camp: I had no say whatsoever in the bus’ arrival schedule, but he was enraged at me personally for the inconvenient hour. ---

Does Dickens’ Ghost of Christmas Future count as a Death? It certainly looks like one. ---
