Two men are sitting at the bar at the top of the Empire State Building
drinking, when the first man turns to the other one 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 wind around the
building is so intense that it carries you around the building and back into
the window."
The bartender just shakes his head in disapproval while wiping the bar, but
says nothing.
The second guy says, "What? Are you insane? There's no way in heck 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 toward 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 meets the second man, who is astonished.
"You know, I saw that with my own eyes, but that must've been a one-time
fluke. That was scientifically impossible!"
"No, I'll prove it again," says the first man as he jumps. Again, just as
his body hurtles towards the street, the 10th floor wind gently carries him
around the building and into the window.
He takes the elevator back to the bar. Once upstairs, he successfully urges
his dubious fellow drinker to try it.
"Well, what the heck," the second guy says, "I've seen that it works, so
I'll try it!"
He immediately jumps over the balcony - plunges downward - rapidly passes
the 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th floors ..his body hits the sidewalk with a loud
"splat."
Back upstairs, the bartender who had been silent the whole time turns to the
first drinker, and shakes his head.
He says, "You know, Superman, you're a real a$$hole when you're drunk."
