That’s not bad. Who drives in heaven?

This reminds me of the 1923 play by Elmer L. Rice, “The Adding Machine.” It used to be quite popular and was often performed in small venues over the years. I haven’t thought about it in a long time.

“The Adding Machine” is a full-length drama by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Elmer L. Rice. The story of Mr. Zero, an accountant at a large, faceless corporation. After 25 years on the job, Mr. Zero discovers that he will be replaced – by an adding machine. He murders his boss in a rage, is tried and hanged. In the Afterlife he is initially sentenced to running an adding machine forever …

And then there is Sartre’s “No Exit”, hell is other people. That would be infinitely magnified at an after-life DMV.

I like the AA on Aunty Acid’s case. Someone mentions another AA in the comments on today’s Andy Capp strip.

I also like her white ghost clothing. Reminds me of Marty Hopkirk in Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased).

that’s the storyline for Beetlejuice

Its said we will work in the vinyards of the Lord. Where there are grapes. There sould be wine, sounds fair.

I sometimes think I’ve been ghosted at MVD…

Most of my dealings with the DMV are done on line. It’s not the greatest web site in the world, but it gets the job done.

Of my personal dealings with the DMV, they’ve been rather neutral. I expected long delays and red tape and got somewhat less in this area than I got, so I “beat the point spread.”

Fortunately, my in-person dealings with the DMV are very rare.

Beetlejuice! They had ghost jobs!

Hey Aunty, YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD SUCK?A Dyson stuck on my cats hairball

I think, in Heaven, that we work at what we love to do, and only when we feel like doing it.

I wonder if Apple has Ghost Jobs… ☺

Aunty, what’s the difference? You ghost work all the time as it is.

The DMV has got to be in the other place.

“if there were,” not “if there was.” If there is a heaven, I hope they can handle simple grammar.

In Hotel Del Luna, a k-drama I am currently watching, the ghosts work in a ghost hotel.

Swell . That’s just great. I’ll probably get my last job back.

if there are ghost jobs at least everyone’ll be in the spirit of things…

No one remember “Dead Like Me”?
