Jump!

The epitome of attention seeking behavior, there was a man in downtown Bangor today, who was standing on a roof apparently threatening to jump. Hmmmmm....the building is only 3 or 4 stories, I would imagine that, unless he landed on his head, he'd just end up with a couple of femurs jammed into his abdomen. Now there's a nice visual. There were various city personnel standing by to...I don't know...catch him? Lots of pedestrians standing around, just watching. We are such a peculiar race. Nothing better to do on a sunny Thursday afternoon than to watch some tormented suicidal bastard stand on a roof top and pace like a caged animal. Trapped I suppose, trapped somewhere in his head. He didn't jump. I wonder how many of the passers-by were disappointed. Who's more mentally ill?
