    I remember when I was growing up my parents were always saying “son you better kill yourself if you want to get married.” And on wrestling night, Randy Savage used to stand up on the turnbuckles and shout “AFTER THIS, MACHO MAN IS GONNA BLOW HIS BRAINS OUT.” He was a big role model for me.

      “son you better kill yourself if you want to get married.”

      I think I’m missing something, is this supposed to make sense? You can’t get married if you’re dead afaik

        They’re being facetious by imagining if intentional suicide was part of male culture in the same way excessive risk taking is.
