joke title: Drunken Fools
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 heck that could happen."
1st Man: "No, it's true let me prove it to you." So 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 back into the 10th floor window and 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."
1st Man: "No, 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.
2nd Man: "Well what the heck, 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 jerk when you're drunk."
