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, 1929
How can you not appreciate this quote? A long time ago, when I was feeling down about stuff, a friend of mine had drawn this quote up, along with pictures and gave it to me. I couldn't help but laugh. I still laugh, and think of my friend who is also darkly optimistic.
