Two Men in a Bar
Posted: October 20, 2004 4:09 pm
Two men are drinking in a 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 just shakes his head in disapproval while
wiping the bar.
The 2nd man says "What are you a nut? There is no way in
hell that could happen."
The first man tells the second, "No, it's true. Let me
prove it to you."
So he gets up from the bar, jumps over the balcony
and careens 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 up to the bar.
The second man tells him, "You know, I saw that
with my own eyes, but that must have been a
one time fluke. "
The first man says, "No, I'll prove it again" and 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
second man finally agrees. "Well, what the hell,
it works, I'll try it."
So 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, "You know, Superman, you're a real
a**hole when you're drunk."
