Only in South Africa

Sky News happened to be on in the background while I was on the phone to my friend Lulu. After a momentary pause to watch if the silly bint who fell in front of a train was actually going to get squashed, and the subsequent conversation regarding different ways to top yourself (live on Sky wasn't one of them) Lulu told me this very un-PC story about an acquaintence of her's in Pretoria:

Depressed because of his restaurant business failing, this bloke decided to commit suicide by gassing himself in his car. He woke up a few hours later on the lawn in front of his house. Whilst unconscious, he had been hijacked and his car stolen. Lulu says he never tried to commit suicide again....
