We asked the pastor of the Church of Cannabis, Count Marcel le Pointbeak, what he estimated as Brother Molloy's suicide risk based on that Sad Sack expression on his face and we offered some possibilities.

Brother Molloy's Suicide Risk

A)  Low
B)  Medium
C)  High
D)  Gone in 60 Seconds

Count le Pointbeak agreed it looks like Brother Molloy appears he will be gone in 60 seconds since, wtf, he likes to steal cars anyway.

Zen Yogi:  but you love smoking the ganja!

Sure, I do, Yogi, but smoking it doesn't make me suicidal or want to steal cars.

Zen Yogi:  maybe it serves the same purpose as all the other churches in which you go in with good feelings about something but then they tell you why you should feel shitty and guilty about it.

No chance Mighty Mouse (i.e. Jeff Sessions) will do anything about reefer but that might.

Zen Yogi:  people have been trying to guilt you for years but you didn't stop

Yah, well, that's because I don't give a fuck, see.

Zen Yogi:  but you do like pic-a-nic baskets

That's true, Yogi.

Zen Yogi:  so you do actually give a fuck about some things

Fair enough, Zen Yogi.

Zen Yogi:  was this a sermon?

Yep

Zen Yogi:  where is the collection plate?

There is no collection plate, Yogi.

Zen Yogi:  because you don't give a fuck?

It's the Zen, Brother Bear.
