When I am dead, I hope it is said;

I know one. He is, like Mustrum Ridcully, *both* a 'late night' person and a 'morning person'. At SCA events, he will greet you with a bright, cheery "Good Morning!" when you first emerge from your tent. I theorize that the only reason he's still alive is that he does this *while holding a cup of coffee exactly how you take it*, and (being 6'4") has a longer arm reach than you do. So, while you reaching for his throat, your face meets the coffee cup before your hands get to his throat.
