I confess that one of my less endearing qualities is that I find humor in the most bizarre situations but am I really the only one who finds this hysterical?

Suicidal man pushed off bridge

NEW YORK. A motorist, furious at five-hour traffic delays as police tried to talk a suicidal man down from a bridge, rushed through a cordon and pushed the man over the side. Lian Jiansheng, 66, shoved Chen Fuchao off the bridge in Guangzhou China. Luckily, the man fell only about 10 yards, landing on a padded platform placed by police. He survived, but Jiansheng was arrested.

Exactly! The fact that he wasn't hurt is what makes it so hysterical. Hiya Jason! Laughing

Yes and no DIana. I feel bad for the man who wanted to end his life and am glad he is safe! Hopefully he will get the help he needs. As for the guy who pushed him. Well he needs some serious anger management lessons and also some on patience. Would be helpful to if he gained a little compassion towards others. Maybe he needs a walk in the jumpers shoes. Maybe they can teach him that in jail.

Hi Diana, yeah we go to a lot of suicide attempts, and a lot are just attention seeking, if they really were made to do it they'd poo themselves!!

Having said that, women are the worse, now i'm not been sexist here, its a fact, women cry wolf!!  cry for attention, whilst men do it, kill themselves!! been to many young male suicides, but never a female!!  Its true, it a well known fact.

Agreed Cathy; but come on, you have to admit, it couldn't have been better scripted if it had been a scene out of a Monty Python skit!

On the serious side now: I don't think your being sexist at all Jason; it's a sad fact that many women who do end up dead from suicide attempts probably didn't really mean to do it but rather, were just crying for help. It makes me think of that young actress who was just found dead in Paris. So sad.
