PJ On Crime.


this is PJ. Hail the Mocker!



On Suicide...
"Guns are always the best method for private suicide. They are more stylish looking then single-edged razor blades and natural gas has gotten so expensive. Drugs are too chancy. You might miscalculate the dosage and just have a good time."

On Murder...
"Try to kill people quickly. It's just as inconsiderate to torture people to death as it is to torture them with a long boring story about your psychiatric problems."

On Rape...
"Rape is extremely rude. Rape is a complete and total violation of the privacy of an individual. Despite the fact that complete and total violation of privacy of individuals is one of our socitey's most popular and fashionable pastimes, rape is still considered rude. This is because rape shows the ignorance of the rapist. If the rapist had pursued the more accepted frms of privacy invasion he would know all the intimate details of his intended victim's life. When you find that much out about most people these days, you don't even want to shake their hands, let alone chase them down the street."

On Masochism...
Masochists are people who have pain confused with pleasure. In a society which has television confused with entertainment, Doritoes confused with food, and Dan Quayle confused with a national political leader, masochists are clearly less mixed up than the rest of us."

On The Death Sentence...
If you live in a state with capital punishment, try to think up something piqant to say on your way to the gas chamber. 'See you in hell, Mom, ' is nice. Things like 'My only regret is that I have but one life to give for my country' or 'Don't stop to mourn, organize' sound too stiff for what's basically an informal situation."
