How horribly morbid to remind me as I'm heading off for bed that an omnipotent, capricious, sky deity might strike me dead between now and tomorrow morning! That's like saying, "See you tomorrow...if one of us doesn't die first." While I think it's healthy to occasionally be reminded that life is short and getting shorter every second and we should carpe diem and all that, it initially struck me as a terribly distasteful thing to say in parting.
