DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) - A Tanzanian who thought his boss's bicycle had been stolen while in his care killed himself by diving into a cesspit -- only for a friend to return the bike a little later, a newspaper said Thursday.
Samuel Boniface, 20, committed suicide Tuesday after telling his employer the bicycle had gone missing, police in Dar es Salaam told the Daily Times.
Shortly after his body was found floating in the cesspool, his friend returned the bicycle, saying he had borrowed it.

As they say, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

And did you ever notice that Ashcroft is NEVER around when this kind of thing happens? Another vitim of the PAtriot ACT. Cesspool indeed!

I read on Drudge where Julian Bond stated that he was actually pushed in, by Condi Rice.

I don't guess it ever occured to him to find out what happened to the bike. Is it so hard to see if there were any witnesses?
