Suicide Balm

         So what's one of the new trends coming out of the Bronx these days?
                           Oh, I don't know.  Does brutality count as one?
                    A lot of people are trying bridge-jumping in Manhattan.
                                     Bridge-jumping?
              Yeah, it's like rock climbing, except you don't climb, you jump.
                         And the rocks are at the bottom.
                         Sounds about as fun as rock climbing.
                     Yeah.  I think it has a more satisfying ending though.
                          And a lot of people are still into track.
                             Heroin?
                        No.  Track.  Like train tracks.
                           Are you talking about the finish line?     (hint)
                                        No, subway tracks.
                            Oh!  Well that's been around for ever.
                             Well so have bridges.
                                      Well so have rocks.
                        Yeah but rocks aren't a trend in Manhattan.
                                                  ...
                                              ...
                                           ...
                               At least not till you get to the bottom.
