I always wonder if anyone really did throw themselves out of the window when markets crashed like what they do in the cartoons.

There is no evidence that anyone leapt to their death because of the market crash, although several did shoot themselves. One man decided to end his misery by leaving his gas stove on and then taking a long nap. And then there was the guy who had a heart attack at his broker's office watching the dropping numbers on the ticker tape. The one person reported to jump from an upper floor of the Plaza Hotel in New York City, did so several days before the market tumbled. Will Rogers, the great humorist, picked up on it and included the "jumping out of windows" in his routine for a number of years, and so the legend.

I noticed some of the fancier Jersey City restaurants looked pretty empty last night. Could have just been typical cold Tuesday night though.
