You Have So Much To Live For
Last week I noted that this week, there would be a letter criticizing me for "making light of suicide". Indeed there were some responses.
Weekly Weird News
Bob in Massachusetts, for instance: "Randy, you're taking this Twinkie issue much too seriously. To think that you would contemplate suicide over something as silly as Twinkies. You should kill yourself over something much more important than that."
Pete in Moscow, who apparently is having to settle for vodka, says "You think you got it bad? We can't get Twinkies AT ALL in Russia!"
And Chris says "We don't get Twinkies here in the UK. However, they do appear in books and film from time to time." Ick: that makes the pages pretty greasy and sticky, doesn't it? Oh, and he included a P.S.: "Don't suppose that there's any chance you'd send a sample over?" That's hardly a fair trade for Altoids, Chris.

"...To think that you would contemplate suicide over something as silly as Twinkies. You should kill yourself over something much more important than that."
Please, this getting to be too much; I can't stop laughing!
As an electrical engineer, I've actually been repeatedly asked, "Is it better to be killed by AC or DC electricity?"
And as a firearms enthusiast I've encountered similar gems as "Is it better to be killed by a 9mm or a .45?"
Now, I don't know about the rest of you, but personally I'm not much in favor of being killed by either. Dead is dead, so I'm given to understand. But, in keeping tongue in cheek, Randy, it is absolutely imperative that you do kill yourself for something much more important than Twinkies.
