An Emergency Medical Technician named Megan was paged to a house where a man was attempting to commit suicide via carbon monoxide poisoning by locking himself in the garage and turning on his car. The neighbor’s noticed after hearing the engine running for several hours and called the cops, who, in turn, called her.
Her ambulance pulls up, ready to drag an unconscious man from a toxic garage and resuscitate him. Instead, they bust into the garage and find a frustrated guy pacing around because he drives a hybrid car and it doesn’t emit enough carbon monoxide to be lethal.
Upon exiting, he complained of hunger. Megan, being the awesomely sarcastic individual she is, told him that if he really put his heart into it and held out for a few more days, he could die of hunger.
After Thoughts:
• This, my friends, is why aliens will never attempt to contact us: they don’t want humanity’s overwhelming stupidity to rub off on them.
• The Green Movement should use this as their new advertising slogan: “Hybrid cars: making it way harder for morons to kill themselves.”
• Actually, on second thought, Hummer should try and work that into their program: “Hummer: saving the gene pool one suicidal cretin at a time.”

Alex Bash is author of The Imbible: Drinking Games for Times You’ll Never Remember with Friends You’ll Never Forget, currently available for pre-order on amazon.com. It hits shelves August 5th, and is not responsible for your lowered GPA and standards.
In contrast to his general belligerence, Alex works at a hospital where he saves lives, which he likes to remind people is no big deal. He can say otolaryngology in three languages and knows more about the Orbitofrontal Cortex than is necessary for someone who is not, technically, a doctor. He enjoys bubblegum toothpaste, strawberry Pop Tarts, and bench press.
Pretty Much Daily Quote
"A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts...except slurred, deragatory, and covered in Mexican food."
~ Alex Bash, 2008
Sometimes life can be overwhelming, and even all the beer in the world can't help. It's at time like these you need to let yourself be overwhelmed, even if only for a moment, and then fight back against the forces that be.
Also, you should switch to hard liquor, because it gets you drunk faster.
Sometimes when I look back at my life and the things I’ve done and been in to over the years, I get sad because I know I’ll never possess that level of ignorance. I’ll never be able to be the young and blissful without knowing that at least part of it is an act. The silliness will never be as silly, the goofiness never as goofy, and Saturday morning cartoons will become infinitely less entertaining without the addition of either nudity or cursing.
Then again, I can now legally drink myself into oblivion by my own free will, get a blowjob in the bar’s bathroom stall, and watch the sun rise from the top of a water tower I’m finally strong enough to climb.
Maybe growing up isn’t so bad.
