I could see this as a sketch on "Saturday Night Live". Good job. | unbridledspirit [181] | 25/01/2009 |
What sort of psychiatrist would choose not to help such a fella free of charge?

Hi Mr Richard,
A nice little sketch although if you wanted to keep the character maybe you could get him off the ledge
and then when he gets down that's when the man finds his name and he runs off crying or something but
nonetheless a very funny character.
Keep up the good work.
