[net.suicide] Naturally

bgb (01/14/83)

I disapprove of the idea of suicide. Death of natural causes
seems more dramatic and suspenseful (i.e. will he die? when
will he die?). But I intend to go out with a joke. My last
words are going to be (as I slowly fade out)," B-b-behind
th-the f-f-fire...place ..." Gasp! THUD! My ghost will
roll in hysterical fits of laughter everytime I see that
side of the house being pulled apart as whoever searches for
what must be some sort of treasure.

The only problem I forsee is the possibility that I'll die
in my sleep.

PS. I also have a long wait ahead of me.

Leave a note (appropriately smudged towards the end) by your
bedside before you go to bed...
(Too bad we don't use fountain pens these days).
