That's absolutely brilliant and has made me smile. One really hopes that the poor suicidal bugger wasn't hallucinating at the time, because that's guaranteed to fuck with your head. Honestly, what's next? Paul Daniels saves drowning child by making the sea disappear?

It’s kind of heartwarming, that story.
