I sitting at home, leaning back on the couch and watching some tv, when the phone rings.
I pick it up, it's my friend Bobby.
Bobby: Hey man. I just want you to know that I'm about to kill myself.
Me: Why?
Bobby: Because she left me man. Two days ago, my woman left me for some guy!
Me: Ah. How are you going to kill yourself?
Bobby: I've got my dad's gun. I'm going to blow my brains out.
Me: You should shoot yourself in the heart. It'd be more poetic.
Bobby: You are supposed to be talking me out of this!
Me: I didn't know this was the suicide hot-line.
Bobby: I need you to help me man! I think I'm really going to do this.
Me: Alright. Just do your best not to do anything until I come over.
Bobby: You are the best, man!
Me: Just let me find my video camera and I'll be on my way.
Bobby: Fuck you! You really are a jerk. Will you be at the bowling alley tomorrow?
Me: You know it.
Bobby: See ya then.
I hung up the phone.
At that point, my new girlfriend finished what she was doing and looked up at me.
Her: Who was that?
Me: Just your ex.
