Empire
State Building
Two
men sit drinking in the bar at the top of the Empire State Building.
One 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 overhears this, and just shakes his head in disapproval
while wiping down the bar.
The
2nd Man says: "What......are you a nut? There is no way
in hell that could happen!"
The
1st Man says: "No, it's true, let me prove it to you."
He gets up from the bar, jumps over the balcony, and careens to
the street below. When he passes the 10th floor, the high wind whips
him around the building and in the 10th floor window, where he takes
the elevator back up to the bar.
The
2nd Man tells him: "You know, I saw that with my own eyes,
but that must have been a one-time fluke." The 1st Man says:
"No, it isn't. I'll prove it again!" And again he jumps
and hurtles toward the street where the 10th floor wind gently carries
him around the building and into the window.
Once upstairs he urges his fellow drinker to try it...The 2nd Man
says:
"Well
what the hell, it works, I'll try it." He jumps over the balcony,
plunges downward, and passes the 11th.......10th.......9th......
And hits the sidewalk with a 'splatt.
'Back
upstairs, the Bartender turns to the other drinker and says: "You
know, Superman, you're a real ass-hole when you're drunk."
