A man named John S. Pleasant walks into a Los Angeles church and discovers a funeral occurring. “Oh, is there a funeral here?” he asks a preacher.
“Yes,” replies the preacher.
“Then you’d better make it two.”
Pleasant promptly shot himself in the head. He died in the flowers.

Another recent, queer suicide by gunshot: a man who set up a machinegun in bed and rigged it to shoot himself.
Despite taking a volley to the chest, he’s alive and recovered today!
A suicide attempt in Paris gains international notoriety for its odd nature: a Russian hotel guest (a White Russian exile) sat in bed with a machine gun and pulled the trigger with his big toe, sending a volley of bullets into his chess. Amazingly, he’s alive!

John Pleasant is the name you give to a miserable character in a short story.
