<<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 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.
2nd man: "What are you a nut? There is no way in hell 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 onetime fluke."
1st man: "No I'll prove it again" and again he jumps hurtling 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 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 1st man: "You know Superman,
you're a real asshole when you're drunk."
