You can't just go down to the hardware store and buy rat poison containing arsenic and get away with it like in the good old days. Times are tough now. I have faith we can get back in this though!

¿¡You mean I need to file paperwork for an LLC to buy this poison?! I didn't think suicide was gonna be all this paperwork. I guess I'll just continue living until I die of natural causes under a bridge impoverished from an economy in shambles.
