> I do understand jokes about suicide for depressed people doesn't come across as that funny at times (though other times it's just such a joke that will make one laugh)... I'd like to point out, though, that it's not a joke about suicide. It's a joke about that very irritating stupid paper clip office assistant that keeps popping up...
