have you ever tried to drown in your own bathtub? it doesn't really work. unless yours is around five feet deep (or more), it probably didn't work for you either. sadly mine is standard. maybe a foot and a half of water- at the most. and when i laid down to drown, the water barely covered my face. blasphemy! maybe i should try face down, then in my very own tub- i might actually be able to drown.
