 Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cut Me Own Throat (C.M.O.T) Dibbler is one of the numerous bit part characters that enrich the world of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.
His name originates from his catchphrase 'I'll sell it for less, and that's cutting me own throat.' He has also been a moving pictures (movie) producer/director where his lack of scruples was entirely reminiscent of the pioneers of modern motion pictures and, similarly, the agent of a 'Music with Rocks In' group.
The wizard Rincewind had a theory that equivalents of Dibbler are everywhere.

 MOVING PICTURES by TERRY PRATCHETT - BOOK HELP WEB REVIEW

 Night Watch
Sam, because he is a good, decent man, is willing to risk his own future happiness on the chance that maybe, just maybe, if he ever does get back to his own time, there will be seven less graves in the Small Gods Cemetery.
He is someone with a no-nonsense approach to things, with a sharp wit and the willingness to do the job in front of him, all of which is incredibly alluring.
The point is, what Terry Pratchett does with the ideas of time, the elasticity of it, is a very different theory from the "If you step on a butterfly you may disappear because you've just killed your father and now will never be born" type of time planning.

 Sick, Sad World Ramblings November 15, 2000
The best description I can think of for this episode is one Terry Pratchett uses to describe Cut-Me-Own-Throat Dibbler's sausages in a bun.
He describes how Dibbler had managed to find a sausage that, regardless of how much mustard, onions, relish, etc were put on it, tasted of absolutely nothing.

 Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
But there's also a series of interludes early on that are cut from a different cloth, namely, passages detailing a man's flight through a forest from something rather wolfish.
However, Carl Hiaasen novels work because he is so good at capturing a particular rhythm and feel with his prose, and anyone expecting that same rhythm in a Discworld book is in for one hell of a shock.) Instead of funky fantastic art, we get five rather odd-looking elephant icons.
And the answer there is "not in the slightest." What we've got is a savage murder that isn't the teensiest bit hilarious, amusing or even droll.
