dear david,
frankly, i’m a little embarrassed for you. and not just because you are decidedly not chinese.
we all know thailand is the destination for those who may have slight proclivities for the *ahem* unusual, but being found naked in a hotel room with a rope around your neck AND your junk isn’t just a little sad, it also a lot creepy.
nothing like pulling a michael hutchence and offing yourself on accident and now your family is left to clean up all your freaky deaky dirty laundry.
plus your most famous contribution will be you’ve brought new meaning to the term “well hung.”
RIP, grasshopper.

thank you for writing what many are thinking!! 🙂 can you believe the way the story unfolds? suicide….interviews w/ppl saying “he seemed in good spirits” blahblahblah….come on, people!
on the other hand, the dude was 72! does he get some points for still trying at 72?! at that age, i may only need a rope to get my old bod out of bed in the morning!
Should we change his name to David “Carriditwell”?
I’m just sad that the last thing we remember him for are those damn Yellow Pages commercials…

This is why I always give the chambermaid a fiver to act as my spotter. (this rehashed joke courtesy of HeyJoe)
How is hanging from a noose a turn-on? On the short list of things we’d rather not get into sexually, strangulation is up there. We’d also rather not be stomped on, electrocuted or peed upon, thanks.
Last week Weeds episode covered the sex/masturbation /hanging phenom pretty funny but this takes the cake. As for your opinion of what happened – that would be a confirmation mam.
those little thai girls sure make tight knots.
Bwahahahahaaaa!!! Great post, Leigh!!!
Sadly, it was time for Grasshopper to leave the temple.
If only he would have stayed for one remaining important lesson.
“Don’t goddamn hang yourself in a hotel room for sexual release.
