	'''CMOT Dibbler''' or Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler is a fixture in the street life of [[Ankh-Morpork]] , where he is a perpetually failing salesman. He gets fancy new ideas (such as [[Fung Shooey\|feng-shui]] consulting, or selling stale rocks to [[trolls]]) which never work. His product line includes ''Dibbler's Homoeopathic Shampoo'', which failed to meet the expectations of the [[Snowy Slopes\|customer]]. Sometimes he sells things that don't belong to him or don't even exist (although such business practices are rather common in Ankh-Morpork). Dibbler has sometimes managed to be the top manager in a blooming new industry (like in {{MP}} or {{SM}}), but either due to bad luck or the fact it's the semi-real [[Discworld (world)\|Discworld]] (where magical phenomena bloom but don't last long), he consistently fails. Fortunately, he always has a backup trade to fall back on: selling [[Sausage inna bun]], the sausage made not of pork but rather of anything that's been near a pig. Dibbler's sausages taste awful, but with a lot of sizzling onions and persistent price-cutting, Dibbler always manages to make a living by selling these sausages to people who have gotten sick from his sausages before. This demonstrates that he is a very good salesman.		'''CMOT Dibbler''' or Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler is a fixture in the street life of [[Ankh-Morpork]], where he is a perpetually failing salesman.

This demonstrates that he is a very good salesman.

	His mercantile aspirations, and lack of aptitude for it, make the Dibbler-like character instantly recognisable, as does the appalling food that is his fall-back product. Suspiciously similar characters appear in several countries including [[Ankh-Morpork]], [[Agatean Empire]], [[XXXX]], and [[Omnia]], all having a similar name and a nickname which describes self-harm. Several of these Dibbler-like salesmen have been encountered by [[Rincewind]]. When Rincewind meets a Dibbler-double, he ponders on the theory that there are only a small number of real people in the world, and the many people you meet are merely duplicates, that's why you seem to meet the same person all across the world (this discussion on many of the Dibblers can be found in {{TLC}}). Indeed, there seems to be a bit of kindred spirit between the two: Both suffer from pre-emptive karma. If it looks like anything good is going to happen, something bad happens immediately to balance things, and keeps on happening ''right through'' when the good should happen. Dibbler is a little more lucky, though: He gets some of the good, but the bad is building up quick under the surface.
