The school store has their Halloween display up in the window. A skeleton was hanging from a noose. "They killed themself," I decided. "The frame is small, and I've never heard of overly large people committing sucicide.
Then I stopped in my tracks and nearly slapped myself because I realized that I was saying how a Halloween decoration killed themself.
"Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
Dorothy Parker
