Random Thought Thursday

I often wonder why someone wishing to commit suicide would choose to do it by jumping off a tall building. I mean taking pills would be peaceful. Shooting yourself in the head would be instantaneous and pretty much pain-free. Jumping off a building seems to have too many pitfalls. For example, it gives you at least a few seconds to actually contemplate what you're doing on the way down. If you've swallowed 50 Xanax tablets at least you have a window of time to have your stomach pumped before the inevitable happens. But if you jump off a building what happens if you're halfway down, the sidewalk is coming up fast and you suddenly decide that little blonde thing with the pouty lips might make life worth living after all?

Boy, are you going to feel stupid, 'though admittedly, not for long.
