*On Page 7, panel 2, the [[suicidal man]] laughs at [[Ralph]]'s joke. There is a speech bubble that says "'Fish or Get Off the Pot?' To someone about to--?!". Below, at the man's feet, is some text that is not in a speech bubble. The text isn't entirely visible due to part of it appearing over a black background, but between the portion that is visible and the context of the conversation, it's clear that the man is saying "That's the funniest thing I ever heard!" In the next panel, the man, still laughing, jumps down from the railing back onto the sidewalk, thanks Ralph and says "I think I just needed a good laugh". | *On Page 7, panel 2, the [[suicidal man]] laughs at [[Ralph]]'s joke.
