Not good at it

The humor comes from the unexpected self-deprecation in response to a serious question about suicide. The person acknowledges attempting suicide but frames it as a failure of skill, which is a morbid and darkly funny twist.

• Suicide
• Time
• Death
• Kill
• Failure
• Skill

• A depressed kid didn't succeed at suicide and said, "I'm a failure at suicide, too."
• Tried committing suicide last night... Never doing that shit again, I almost killed myself!
• What are you good at? Dying. Dammit, I fail at that too.
• It must not be a good suicide story if you can tell it.
