Once Over Lightly

MAYBE THE CHAP in this tale had been drinking too many of them too fast. Anyway, according to P. C. of California, he developed such a monumental hangover that he decided to shoot himself. By some freak of chance, there was a blank cartridge in the chamber. When he fired at his temple, there was a tremendous bang, but he felt nothing happen except an increased headache. He waited for a few moments, then moaned to himself, "Hell! Suicide is lots worse than I thought it would be."
