May I digress? As a Brit living in the US, and one who loves the differences in meaning attributed to words on each side of the pond, I wondered how many British readers like myself pictured this guy throwing himself in front of a house (semi-detached...one of two houses connected to each other).
Heavy a house may be, yes, but he would have suffered a slow death, probably from starvation as he waited for it to hit him, using this method in England.
Having set out on this train of thought, I pondered the fact that here in the US you actually move a whole houses on the back of a truck sometimes.
Then the mental image of someone being hit by a semi carrying a semi hit my, admittedly small, brain and I nearly fell off the seat laughing.
In my own defence I must state that I am, at this moment, very, very drunk!
