Two Atlanta men survived an attempt to kill themselves Friday by cutting off their arms with a circular saw, according to Atlanta Police Major Lane Hagin.
The men managed to sever three of their arms about six inches above the wrist, he said.
The two men — ages 40 and 41 — left a suicide note with the manager of their Atlanta apartment building saying they were committing suicide because their business had failed and they were recently diagnosed with HIV, Hagin said.
After reading the note, the manager called police who found the two men in their apartment with "a lot of blood," the major said.
Their names were not released. Police spokesman Steve Coleman said both were in stable condition at Grady Memorial Hospital late Friday and will undergo psychiatric evaluation.
No charges will be filed in the incident, police said.

Good reason to loosen up the gun laws.
BTW, when the police arrive, they found them unarmed.

How were they planning to get that fourth arm off? What a ghoulish comment. But side-splitting nonetheless. :-)

So nice of two HIV+ guys to choose a suicide technique involving spreading their tainted blood everywhere. Very thoughtful to go the route that risks infecting as many others as possible. Should have let them bleed out.

Their names were not released. "Lefty" and "Stubbs" would be my guess.

A haggard looking man staggers into a bar and orders a drink.
A nearby bar patron looks at him and says "Hey pal, why the long face?"
"I can't believe it. I just can't believe it - I got HIV at 47!"
"Hey, that's nuthin'" the patron replied, "I bought Lucent at 82!"

If I were the cops, I don't think I'd give them a hand.

He'd give his right hand to be amidextrous about now.
