Does your suicide make my butt look big?

                                 So have you been eating well?
                                   Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yeah.  You know:
                                 Shawarma, Sashima... Salsa....  Sicilian...
                                     "From the four corners of the earth."
     Yeah, you know.  I try to eat something each day, whether I need to or not.
                                  Any new recipes?
                             You mean with the pill bottles?

Wacked Material

                                 What's that pile of books there?
                        Oh, you should see the whole shelf of them over there.
                                          What are they?
                    That's what you get, what people give you, after your wife does it.
                                 Why?
   They're being nice.  They don't know what to do.  So they give you a book to read.
                             What are the books about?
                         Loss, grieving, moving on. That sort of thing.
                                    Did they help?
                      I haven't read any of them yet.

The flames of suicide

                               What the suicide are you doing?
                                        Suicide yeah!
                                         You go to suicide!
                                      I hope you burn in suicide!
                                     Oh suicide no you didn't!
                                    It's the difference between heaven and suicide.
                          Suicide hath no fury like a woman scorned.
                              You've got a snowball's chance in suicide.
