Morbid Humor from a Mormon.

My one (Mormon) colleague is fascinated by ancient philosophy and has an exam list on the valorization and philosophy of suicide. I had run into him the other day, and he was gushing about how much he enjoyed reading up on it.

Then, a few days later I ran into him in the morning when I was in the library, and I asked him how it was going.

"Great!", he was like, "But I'm teaching undergrads today, so I'll have to restrain my enthusiasm and keep quiet about it."

(Our university is known for its high undergraduate suicide rate.)
