No, Hamish, nooo!
I know it was some brainbox or other who said death should always be a tragedy because, if not, it means life has become one but sometimes, gosh, it can be amusing.

I was writing a story at work about a toy company that makes toy guns that fire marshmallows or something. Anyway, I was saying to one of the guys here that it was sort of ridiculous to combine confectionary with firearms as a toy for children. His reponse? "It actually seems totally normal to me... but then I'm from Texas."
The funniest thing is apparently these incidents are common. Man's best friend? I think not.
