DON'T DRINK AND FLY

>> PW> Two guys are drinking heavily at a bar, at the top of the
>> PW> Empire State Building in NYC. One guy leans in to the other
>> PW> and says, "You know, last week I discovered if you jump out
>> PW> that window over there, by the time you fall to the 10th floor,
>> PW> the winds around the building are so intense, they carry you
>> PW> up and around the building, and back into a window on the 10th
>> PW> floor." The bartender just shakes his head in amusement and
>> PW> walks away, wiping the bar.
>> PW>
>> PW> The second guy glares and says, "What are you, some kind of nut?
>> PW> There's no way in hell that could happen." And the first guy says,
>> PW> "No, it's true. Look, I'll prove it." He gets up from the bar,
>> PW> stumbles over the balcony, jumps out the window, and careens to
>> PW> the street below. Just as he falls past the 10th floor, a high
>> PW> wind whips him up and around the building, and back into a 10th
>> PW> floor window. He takes the elevator back to the rooftop bar.
>> PW>
>> PW> The second guy says, "You know, I saw that with my own eyes, but I
>> PW> still don't believe it. Must have been a one-time fluke." And the
>> PW> first guy says, "No, man, it's not; I'll do it again." And once
>> PW> again, he jumps out the window, makes a beeline to the street
>> below,
>> PW> when suddenly around the 10th floor, a blast of wind whips him up
>> PW> and around the building, and straight into a 10th floor window.
>> PW>
>> PW> He hops on the elevator and, once back at the rooftop bar, urges
>> his
>> PW> fellow drinker to try it for himself. Now convinced, the second
>> guy
>> PW> says, "All right, what the hell; I'll try it." So he leaps over
>> the
>> PW> balcony and out the window, and plunges downward. Down, down,
>> down,
>> PW> passing the 12th floor ... the 11th ... the 10th ... then the 9th,
>> PW> 8th, 7th, 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st ... and then *SPLAT!* He
>> lands
>> PW> flat on the sidewalk.
>> PW>
>> PW> Back upstairs the bartender turns to the other drinker and says,
>> PW> "You know, Superman, you're a real asshole when you're drunk."
