| Description: | Master 1848 - Tape 1 Funny MSs balding middle-aged white man wearing white short-sleeve dress shirt and striped tie while seated at desk in office; man smilingly brings .38 handgun to his temple, pulls trigger and shoots himself; though there are no bullets, the man makes a funny face and slumps forward to the desk... but not before placing the gun down beside him. I've never seen a suicidal man so happy. MSs young white man wearing white short-sleeve dress shirt with dark tie while seated at verysame desk, flashing very same smile; man lifts pistol from desk, levels the weapon at his head, commits comedic suicide, falls forward onto desk; final shot features man happily shooting himself, falling off chair and onto floor, still smiling. | |
