My best friend has gone (bit naughty)

[rebbonk]

My best mate found out last week that he couldn't give his wife children.

He committed suicide last night.

I went to see his wife today, I held her in my arms, comforting her, both of us crying.

"He didn't even leave a note." She sobbed.

"He wanted to, but couldn't." I wailed back.

"Why not?" She sniffed.

Spoiler:

"He had no lead in his pencil." I replied.
