After Joseph Marble, 25, killed himself by jumping off the Tobin Bridge in Boston, Mass., it was discovered that anti-suicide signs that had been on the bridge were no longer there, since they had been removed by state road crews. Marble’s mother pushed for them to return, and Massport quickly installed new ones. “Desperate? Depressed? Help’s Only A Call Away” the signs say, listing the phone number for a suicide hotline. Except that the number shown on the sign is disconnected. (Boston Herald) ...Yeah, well, the nearest phone is 135\' below the sign anyway.
