When I used to consider committing suicide, I thought of all the
traditional, violent methods.  But the one I liked best was this:

	Wait for a subzero freezing day.  Carefully drink a medium 
(for you) amount of alcohol.  You're
not trying (yet) to kill yourself, so don't overdo it.  Then wear
jeans and a t-shirt and go outside for a walk.  Go for a long walk,
and get yourself good and tired.  Pretty soon you'll start to get
numb and clumsy.  Before too long you'll fall on your face and not
even notice it.  Poof, you're dead.

Note that this is an untested method of suicide; however you can be
sure that lots of people have died from it by going hiking in the
mountains unprepared.  I myself have decided that suicide while
in a depression is a mistake.  If I ever decide to kill myself I
will be good and sure that it's not just a temporary depression.
My depressions have always gone away, eventually.
