Remember Nadia, the Portuguese trans lady who won Big Brother? This is she, with Annie, Veda and Me some years back. I don’t remember how that evening ended but I am sure I had my face between those fake boobies at one stage.  I wonder what became of Nadia?

Of course, suicide is never funny but sometimes the reasons for it and the execution can appear ridiculous.
