Suicide Hotline, Will You Hold Please?

When a 44-year-old Swedish man called a church suicide hotline at 2 a.m. Friday morning, the phone was answered by a pastor who listened to the man’s problems. Or so the caller thought. He could hear breathing on the other end and figured the pastor was busy taking notes. Actually, he fell asleep. The good news is he woke up. The bad news is he fell asleep again while the man was talking. The man hung up, called back, waited on hold for 10 minutes, then gave up. The call, anyway. Regaining the will to live so he could report the paster the next day, the man complained to the church which is looking into it. Hopefully the investigators won’t fall asleep.
