Tom, a handsome young fellow, walked into the bar around 9:45 PM and sat down next to a blonde staring up at the TV. The 10:00 news soon came on and featured the story of a man on the ledge of a large building who was preparing to jump.
The blonde looked at Tom and said, “Do you think he’ll jump?”
Tom said, “You know, I bet he’ll jump.”
The blonde replied, “Well, I bet he won’t.”
Hearing this, Tom placed a twenty-dollar bill on the bar and said, “You’re on!”
Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy on the ledge did a swan dive off the building and fell to his death.
The blonde was upset, but willingly handed her twenty dollars to Tom, saying, “Fair’s fair; here’s your money.”
Tom smiled knowingly, then replied, “I’m afraid I can’t really take it. You see, I watched the news at five PM and knew he’d jump.”
“Oh, I did, too, “the blond replied. “I just didn’t think he’d do it again.”
With that, Tom took the money.
