Grave Digger Required



I'm on a bit of a Dickens jag at the moment and have just been watching Edwin Drood on telly.

Drood was duly murdered then I went and checked out some small ads, finding this job advert for a Grave Digger which said in the job description:


Candidates must have previous experience in all tasks associated with the preparation of graves ...

Speak with me on the morrow, and you shall find me a grave man.

Best headline of the week.

Wow, that was awkward said...

Many people would die for a job like that!

Hahah I saw that play in high school. The audience voted for the ending. It was awesome.

lx I'm thinking that my musculature would be more appropriate for insect handling anyway

Mme Fly - it is isn't it?

Gadjo - these days it reads'Must own one's own digger lorry'.

Nursemyra - I think providing cadavers is a negotiable extra.

MJ - Of course

Dolcevita - 'tis a grave business indeed.

Wow - Many people would die for a job like that! Many people probably did

Hello Gia - The tv version did go well here too
