Did I ever tell you I got fired from the Suicide Hotline?
For the on-hold music, I selected Van Halen’s “Jump”.
“Ah, might as well jump (jump!)
Go ahead and jump
Might as well jump (jump!)
Go ahead and jump
Jump!
Might as well jump (jump!)
Go ahead and jump
Get it and jump (jump!)
Go ahead and jump”
Lol!
Sigh.
You laugh, but when I was in school in the 80's, a girl got very depressed over finals, and went to the roof of the 15-storey building, threatening to jump. It was right across from my dorm room.
Someone down the hall started blasting that song loud enough that she probably heard it. Luckily, she was talked down form it by the police.
I'll never forget that, though....
RED DWARF PING!
RIMMER: Well, it’s all very sad, Lister, but what can we do?
LISTER: Sad? It’s sick! He’s been programmed to believe in an android Heaven, so that he won’t get stroppy when it comes to turn-off time. So that he accepts a lifetime of getting the short end of the stick because he thinks there’s going to be some big reward at the end.
RIMMER: Well, at least he gets 24 hours notice. That’s more than most of us get. All most of us get is, “Mind that bus!” “What bus?” _splat_! How’s he taking it?
LISTER: Just keeps on doing his stupid smeggin’ duties.
RIMMER: Maybe I should talk to him. Maybe he needs a bit of counseling.
LISTER: You?!
RIMMER: I used to be in the Samaritans.
LISTER: I know. For one morning.
RIMMER: I couldn’t take any more.
LISTER: I don’t blame you. You spoke to five people, and they all committed suicide. I wouldn’t mind, but one was a wrong number! He only phoned up for the cricket scores!
RIMMER: Well, it’s hardly my fault that everyone chose that morning to throw themselves off buildings! Made the papers, you know. “Lemming Sunday,” they called it.
LOL! sKIlls & Jump. AC/DC Hillary likes Dirty Deeds too.
