Suicide Is Painless
I’m sure that for a mere $25, added to your room bill, you can tune to “Hot and Wet Cheerleaders” on Channel 69. Then drop a quarter in the slot on your vibrating bed ....

Fortunately, I have a copy of “Oracle 10g Grid and Real Applications Clusters” by Michael Ault to pass the time. Blade servers, interconnects, fault tolerance, high availability, cluster manager, volume managers, transaction application failover, cache fusion .... and on and on and on ....
Don’t ask me to explain. It beats the heck out of CNN, fer sure.
You know, OCM is right. I got this little CD player for the bedroom TV set, for about $29 at Radio Shack. Everyone should pack one when he travels, lest he face the situation that Allan’s in. No human being should have to watch Jane Fonda interviewed by Larry King. They wouldn’t do that to the prisoners at Abu Gharib.

Go to the Spanish channel. In about 5 seconds you’ll develop a crush on that spicy Latina delivering her news with that freshly-tasered-Jessica-Simpson look. now, turn the sound down and pretend she’s talking about you.

Vilmar! Quick! Turn on that Spanish (or is it Portuguese?)Channel Riggs is talking about! That’s the look you want to go for when you don your Carmen Miranda outfit for the “1st BMEWS Reunion” in St. Loo.

Jane Fonda...Savage said she looks like a “bad Ex Lax commercial.”
We were rolling.
Almost time for dinner and get ready for the night watch.
Goodnight, Chesty. You got the watch.

Motel 6? Many of the medium sized chains now carry that motel package. Sucks.
Check into a clean lower budget joint ... you’ll get 75 channels.
I have stayed in more motels than Willy Nelson as I was on the road for 15 years.
I was raised in a motel. So take my for it ... find a nice mom and pop joint.

Go ahead...use your gun
but first make sure it is empty, then check again to make sure it is empty.
Putting it to your head under those circumstances would be therapeutic.
Better yet, turn the damn TV off and go for the book. Being alone in a hotel with a gun and CNN is suicidal anyway isn’t it?
