Guy To Travel Around Florida Dressed As The Grim Reaper To The Beaches That Opened Prematurely

Jonas Grinevičius and Ilona Baliūnaitė

Imagine you’re at the beach enjoying the waves washing over your feet and the sun warming your skin. That’s when you notice a tall, black-robed figure with a scythe out of the corner of your eye. You take a better look and that’s when you realize it’s the Grim Reaper!



Florida lawyer Daniel Uhlfelder plans to travel around his state beaches from May 1 to warn people about the dangers of not social distancing—all dressed up as the Grim Reaper. Uhlfelder was quite obviously inspired to do this by New Zealand’s public service campaign where a person dresses up as the infamous Swim Reaper to promote water safety and tries to prevent deaths from drowning.

While Uhlfelder’s main message is to make sure that Floridians know how important it is to stay at home to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, he also plans to use his Reaper get-up to raise money for Democrats running for federal office.

4. It will just entice mobbed selfies with Reaper.

5. Um, I get his point, but

is that really a good idea? Traveling around the state, stopping for food, gas, etc. seems to be a great way to catch it yourself.

Hope he doesn't spread it. That would truly be a grim reaper scenario!

7. Yep and I don't think that stick thing is allowed on the beach or it shouldn't be

Otherwise he needs to be careful. Many pastors died from the virus thinking they were doing the right thing. They were deadly wrong.

9. Why shouldn't that "stick thing" be allowed on beaches? How is that even more dangerous ...

than say, "butt-chugging" on the beach during Spring Break.


Are you sure I don't know you as someone else?

[jimfields33]

10. You clearly forgot you sarc tag

You don’t think you could cut somebody with that or poke someone’s eye out. You have to be smarter then your previous post shows.

11. Yeah right, there's been a terrible rash of eye pokings and cuttings with prop scythes lately ...

perhaps you'd like to share a recounting of one you know about? I think glass bottles and paring knives cause a lot more problems on beaches, don't you?

We ought to compare statistics. I'll supply the scythe caused injury stats: 0, zip, nada, scratch, nothing, nil, nonexistent, aught, naught, zilch, negative, nuttin', nullity, diddlysquat, nix ....

There are no scythe related injury or death statistics available, imagine that!

[jimfields33]

12. We don't have machete eye poke either so let's bring those.

Not any killing with guns on beaches in the United States either. Hmmmm.

[marble falls]

15. Why are we putting machetes into the mix? Are you seriously claiming no one has ever been ...

There's more. Where's that scythe eye poking case at.

8. He's the only one socially distancing and wearing a mask and an almost total body covering.
