April 6th 2018. I got the call my friend Jacob had killed himself. He was 26. I met him in 3rd grade. He was the funniest person Ive ever known. He invented the concept of "comedic integrity", which is something like the opposite of regular integrity. It means to commit to a joke at all costs. Even if no one else thinks its funny. Especially if no one else thinks its funny. I was at a bar in Boston, 800 miles from home, the sound of a party in the background. So many people that didnt know Jacob...
