A libertarian comedian, Rich Stein, provided some good humor at a dinner my wife and I attended last night.  His funniest line involved a man who was so depressed over current political and economic troubles that he called a suicide hot-line for help.  As with so many of our telephonic communications, his call was routed to someone in Pakistan.  After explaining his sense of despair and of his desire to commit suicide, the man at the other end of the line asked: “Can you drive a truck?”
