In the professions chart, the footnote regarding pushcarts:

If you roll a 4 on a d6...'your dead'.

Ouch, that seems harsh!

I'm thinking it should be 'your dad' who is saying, "I'm not dead! I feel fine. I'm getting better. I think I'll go for a walk. I feel happy!"

It's a Monty Python reference. Google "Bring out your dead".

That's what my 'dad quote' is from, which is why I referenced it. The old man says all those lines, pretty much in that order.

Yeah, I know. Sometimes I don't read all the way to the end of the post. Bad habit.

It also says "your dead" indicating possessive (your dad, your pushcart)...not "you're dead" which is the contraction for "you are" (you're dead, you're driving a pushcart).

It had me stumped for a few seconds before I twigged.

Of course, this warrants an airing of the clip for the young-uns here who may not know this classic;
