tough audience
“Try not. Do or do not, there is no try.” ~ Bittersweet Yoda
Kinda reminds me of Lethal Weapon when Mel Gibson grabs the suicidal man and jumps off the building with him.
Jumper: “Aren’t you gonna try to grab me?” Harry: “A friend of mine was up about 20 floors with a jumper a few years ago, and the jumper grabbed him, they went off, 20 floors down, just mashed ‘em all over the pavement. Couldn’t tell which legs were with which, which arems were with which, and it was a terrible mess. I’ll tell ya I almost threw up myself. I’d just like your name and address that’s all.” Jumper: “Why?” Harry: “Well like I said, it’s such a mess down there afterwards and it makes identification impossible. Even if they find your drivers license, all that blood and everything..” Jumper: “I think...I think I’m gonna puke.” Harry: “Ah - now don’t do that son. I mean all those people down there looking up. Firechief looking up - his face (laughs).”
“relevant government authorities”... hmm... that sounds like an oxymoron to me.
I know there were probably 100,000 people on the Washington DC Beltway who would have gladly pushed the jackass who was threatening to jump off the Woodrow Wilson Bridge one day 10 years ago. The police shut down the Beltway for more than seven hours, both directions, beginning during rush hour, and the entire region, including all of DC, was frozen in gridlock. It was a freaking nightmare.
