Brush Up!​

I was getting ready to leave for work today, but when I opened the door,
I saw the Grim Reaper waiting on my step.
I knew what was about to happen, so I decided to ask him a question.
"Before you take me, I want to ask, why do you wear that huge hood all the time? Is it to hide your face?"
"No", he answered, "It is actually to hide my hair.
With these huge craggy fingers and hands, I cannot groom myself,
so it is a mess up there with knots and tangles, so I find it easier to just hide it".
I said "Well, let me do one good deed before I die and fix that".
And I immediately went to my bathroom and got out all
my brushes and combs and a pair of scissors.
Within a few minutes I had his hair straightened out, knot free, and looking sharp!
"As a show of appreciation", he said "I will let you live,
this is the best I have felt in decades!" And with that he left.
Relieved, I sat down. Then it struck me...
I just had a brush with death!
