shows that the south as a region had a suicide rate of 13.1 while the
northeast had a rate of 9.1. That is quite a discrepency. Is it
because life is so boring and stupid in the south that they only thing
a southerner can think of to do is to drive fast? That is depressing.
Maybe the hot sticky humid summers of the south make the winter seem
like it is not leading to anything worth living for.

Seems like that should make you happy. But, it is because it is the only
thing we are smart enough to do.

Discrepancy not discrepency.

My lengthy experience in life and extensive scientific research suggest that
this apparent suicide rate is due to Yankees moving down south and
discovering that they have missed many years of fine southern living. They
can't bear the realization that all that peach cobbler has passed them by,
so they snuff themselves.

Just a shame they aren't required to find five lawyers and do a
murder-suicide.

I fixed it for ya. No charge.

Some people just aren't meant to be happy. But, that makes some of them
very happy.
