At my daughter's school, they had skits last Spring.

One of them started with a writer who had no story, so she was going to jump off a bridge. She was joined through the skit with three other professions who had seen such failure they also were going to jump off (added one at a time). Then, when they went to jump the writer stopped - because she had found a story with the others about to jump.

I think I laughed a little too hard at that one. It hits close to home some days.
