Dead-End Jobs*

No, not the ones where your over-sized boo-tay is deadened from having your rolls of All-American flab squashing it as you sit on it all day & all night & all afternoon, real suicide.

We'd be interested in the modality of the suicides, esp. among people w/ access to medication. No idea if it's still true, but medicine used to be quite high in professions given to addiction; hey, the stuff's right there. Oddly enough, nurses don't appear in the top 19, probably because the stats were compiled from white males (We honky dudes are, after all, the most important single group anywhere!) but even the attention paid to the ladies (way down at the bottom) didn't have nurses. Perhaps because, unlike many doctors, dentists & chiropractors, nurses actually provide useful service to humanity.

And we wonder about, among others, electricians. Are accidental electrical deaths attributed to suicide because employers don't want violations of safety rules brought to light?

Web-loggers: This web-log operator is taking as many as possible w/ us, whether we end up in the morgue or not. So it's more a desire for murder/justice than a suicidal tendency.

As far as lawyers (1.33x as likely): Not high enough, damnit!!

You mean for a drink, right? And you're buying? Swell!

Lesson One: Don't say "Drinks are on us," when out w/ the literal-minded.

well-meant or not, throwing a drink on your another humanoid is a dreadful waste of booze, so don't do it.
