Two men are sitting drinking at a bar at the top of the Empire State
Building when the first man turns to the other and says, "You know, last week
I discovered that if you jump from the top of this building, by the time you
fall to the 10th floor, the winds around the building are so intense that
they carry you around the building and back into the window."
The
bartender just shakes his head in disapproval while wiping the
bar.
The second guy says, "What are you a nut? There is no way that
could happen."
"No, it's true," said the first man, let me prove it to
you." He gets up from the bar, jumps over the balcony, and plummets to the
street below. When he passes the 10th floor, the high wind whips him around
the building and back into the 10th floor window and he takes the elevator
back up to the bar.
He met the second man, who looked quite
astonished. "You know, I saw that with my own eyes, but that must have been a
one time fluke."
"No, I'll prove it again," says the first man as he
jumps. Again just as he is hurling toward the street, the 10th floor wind
gently carries him around the building and into the window.
Once
upstairs he urges his fellow drinker to try it. "Well, what the heck," the
second guy says, "it works, I'll try it!" He jumps over the balcony plunges
downward, passes the 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th floors ...and hits the sidewalk
with a 'splat.' Back upstairs the Bartender turns to the other drinker,
saying "You know, Superman, you're a real jerk when you're drunk."
