Premise
Ralph is getting old and increasingly angry with the world. When he finds that he can no longer indulge in his only pleasure, masturbation, he decides to kill himself. But he wants to do it in style and turns to local drugs dealer Jimmy for help. He supplies him with a tab of acid which Ralph takes with a bottle of aspirins – but the effects are not quite what Ralph was expecting…
