Cut Me Own Throat (C.M.O.T) Dibbler

Cut Me Own Throat (C.M.O.T) Dibbler is a "merchant venturer" in Ankh-Morpork, he is most famous for selling meat by-products to unsuspecting souls. He has also been a "moving pictures" director where his lack of scruples suited the teask perfectly and, similarly, the agent of a "Music with Rocks In" group was also well suited to his talents. He has also been known to sell "fong shooey" advice, mail-order martial arts lessons, "Dibbler's Genuine Soggy Mountain Dew", souvenir snow-globes and advertising space in the Ankh-Morpork Times. He is at his best selling intangibles; physical merchandise tends to hamper his patter somewhat.

His eye for the main chance coupled with astonishing business acumen and appalling bad luck would be astounding if anyone could follow his activities lond enough to observe. When his business plans fail, he falls back to selling (mostly) "pig" sausages on the streets of Ankh-Morpork.

He is described by many as looking like a rodent, and wears a long "poacher's" coat covered in pockets. He is usually seen either pushing a barrow or carrying a tray. This contains sausages-in-buns, meat pies, and probably some merchandise connected with whatever the latest Morporkian fad is.

The wizard Rincewind had a theory that equivalents of Dibbler were everywhere. This theory is borne out by Rincewind's meeting the slightly more successful merchant Disembowel-Meself-Honourably Dibhala (who sold suspiciously fresh thousand-year eggs) in the Agatean Empire and Fair Go Dibbler (who sold the archetypal pie floaters) on the lost continent of EcksEcksEcksEcks.

Other Dibbler equivilents include Cut-Me-Own-Hand-Off Dhblah in Omnia, Ratonasticthenes from Ephebe and Al-Jiblah in Klatch.
