So, two men are sitting drinking at a bar at the top of the Empire State
Building when 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.
So the second man says, "What are you, a nut? There is no way in hell
that could happen."
"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. He then takes the elevator back 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."
"No, I'll prove it again," and again he jumps, hurtling toward the
street, when the 10th floor wind gently carries him around the building
and into the window. Once back upstairs, he urges his fellow drinker to
try it.
The second man says, "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 and says, "You
know, Superman, you're a real asshole when you're drunk."
