Man Wants to Die Like Jesus. Sort of.

From our good friends at KRON4 in CA, comes this story, about a poor soul in Bangor, Maine. (That could be Billy Joel song "Poor Soul in Bangor"). Anyway, here's the story:

Lt. Pierre Boucher said the man took two pieces of wood, nailed them
together in the form of a cross and placed them on the floor. He attached a
suicide sign to the wood and then proceeded to nail one of his hands to the
makeshift cross using a 14-penny nail and a hammer.

"When he realized that he was unable to nail his other hand to the
board, he called 911," Boucher said.

It was unclear whether the man was seeking assistance for his injury or
help in nailing down his other hand.

Perhaps if this man was a bit less shortsighted, he wouldn't find himself in the position of trying (poorly) to commit suicide. Also, I admire the reporter's attention to detail, noting it was a 14-penny nail. And being snarky enough to add that last part, about it being unclear why the man called 911. He obviously wasn't looking for help with nailing his other hand, but adding that is so awesomely back-handed.

Keep giving us the magic Bangor...
