I would not rely on that too much. You'd better have your phone with you.

No, but it's essential. A friend in need is a friend indeed, you know. :)

Looking at your picture, I seriously doubt that I could ever carry you anywhere, drunk or otherwise. I guess I could stand by and look pretty... Best I could do... I feel so useless and depressed now... Let's talk about death some more.

Yes, an ideal friend in need should probably look like this. :)

People have long viewed the world through the prism of male strength and female weakness. Now it is unclear.)

That was women's plot against men. They didn't want to carry them home, so they started pretending that they are weak. But the photo above reveals the truth.

Absolutely clear. You will not fool us anymore! :)

Speaking of death and suicide:
On his deathbed, unable to speak owing to advanced laryngeal cancer, Huxley made a written request to his wife Laura for "LSD, 100 µg, intramuscular." According to her account of his death in This Timeless Moment, she obliged with an injection at 11:20 a.m. and a second dose an hour later; Huxley died aged 69, at 5:20 p.m. (Los Angeles time), on 22 November 1963.

Media coverage of Huxley's death, along with that of the author C. S. Lewis, was overshadowed by the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on the same day. In an article for New York magazine titled “The Eclipsed Celebrity Death Club”, Christopher Bonanos wrote,

The championship trophy for badly timed death, though, goes to a pair of British writers. Aldous Huxley, the author of Brave New World, died the same day as C. S. Lewis, who wrote the Chronicles of Narnia series. Unfortunately for both of their legacies, that day was November 22, 1963, just as John Kennedy’s motorcade passed the Texas School Book Depository. Huxley, at least, made it interesting: At his request, his wife shot him up with LSD a couple of hours before the end, and he tripped his way out of this world.
Wow!
