I wish to commemorate a friend of mine who invented what I consider to be
one of the few appropriate responses to a suicide:
Have a Memorial Wienie Roast.
The suicide in question was perpetrated in a college environment, and there
was much headwagging and tongueclucking and seriousization over the affair,
until Norman decided that what anybody glum enough to commit suicide really
needed, was a wienie roast.  This of course neatly polarized the community
into those who thought it a Bad Idea and the Right Thinkers.
