A few questions and answers

Q. If the Brink of Death is located at 14th Place and Wood, where is death? Next door, or on the next block, or what?
A. Life, and in particular English geographical nomenclature, is teeming with the patently illogical. Thus, the fact that the Brink of Death can be found on a map in no way ensures that death can be likewise plotted. Death is not a place. Death Valley, on the other hand, is a place, but unsurprisingly is quite far from the Brink of Death.

Q. So death isn't a place?
A. Of course death isn't a place.

Q. I saw Brinks of Death in the yellow pages. Is that your ad?
A. No. Brinks of Death is a fine company that provides funeral homes and gravediggers' unions with secure transport of their profits, payroll, and petty cash. The Brink of Death is not.
