A book about suicide cannot be borrowed

A man walks into the library. “Hello ma’am, I’d like to borrow a book about committing suicide.” The librarian replies, “No, you won’t give it back.”

The joke plays on the dark humor of suicide by having the librarian state a practical reason for denying the request, they won't return the book. It's funny because it's unexpected in response to a serious request.
