other solution:
stuff yourself with magic mushrooms and emerge in this universe a week later
it has the virtue of not having to buy a gun and having to learn to use it
responsably, so that i can blow myself or someone else away in a really
responsible way (as is my godgiven right?)
hope this gets some laughs as well
