these are almost true stories from the frontlines:
we had a mandatory meeting re: an epidemic of ennui. authorities had traced the calls to the suicide hotline and all calls came from our workplace. 4 lines. at once.
there was a pistol in the middle of the table and a scuffle broke out over who got to shoot themeselves first.
we held hands and sang koom bay yah and a newbie shot the boss. you take what you get.
the window was open on the 5th floor. the first 2 were badly injured but after that there was a human cushion and it became kinda fun. state troopers officially labeled it “hectic” when people started doing cannon balls.
2 midgets wrassled a fat girl to ride to they death and we’ll just say it was an aborted attempt.
