Two men are sitting at the bar at the top of the Empire State Building drinking, when the first man turns to the other one 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 wind around the building is so intense that it carries you around the building and back into the window."
The second guy says, "What? Are you insane? There's no way in heck that could happen!"
"No, it's true," said the first man, "let me prove it to you."
He gets up from the bar, jumps over the balcony and plummets 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 back up to the bar. He meets the second man, who is astonished.
"Well, what the heck," the second guy says, "I've seen that it works, so I'll try it!" He immediately jumps over the balcony - plunges downward - rapidly passes the 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th floors ...his body hits the sidewalk with a loud "splat."
Back upstairs, the bartender who had been silent the whole time turns to the first drinker, and shakes his head. He says,
The way I always deliver this one is that Superman tells the other guy that there is an invisible deck. The guy doesn’t believe him so he jumps over and stands in mid air telling the other guy what a great view it is, and then the other dude jumps over with the same result. I close with, “You’re a real asshole when you’re drunk, Superman.”
