Me: "I'm not sure if I should put this on the blog, but I do find myself occasionally thinking about jumping overboard. Not in a real way. I wouldn't do it, but I think it's hard not to look at the sea and think, 'Oh, I hope I don't jump in there,' or even, sometimes, 'I bet that would be refreshing.' I think you'd have to have zero imagination to at least not ponder it for a millisecond.

Martin: "Can I ask who is being tried in Arnie's suicide?"
Hansen: "If Arnie commits suicide, America goes on trial..."
Me: "Yes, I would hope that my death would lead to some heavy handed social commentary."
Hansen: "'For, in the end, aren't we all Arnie ________s, standing on the edge of a rolling forever, yearning for a moist relief, wet absolution, and damp redemption?'"
Meador: "When I was on the Alaska cruise, I thought about jumping a few times. My main question was how long it would take before anyone noticed."
Young: "Eight and a half years."

I'v been on two cruises and have though about jumping overboard (in a completely non-suicidal way)both times.
I think it's almost impossible not to, if only because it would be so easy. I wonder how often people get drunk and do it- again, not because they want to kill themselves but because for some reason it seems sorta like a fine idea.
