Two men were sitting at a bar at the top of the Empire State Building, drinking.
One turned to the other and said, “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 are so strong they’ll carry you around the building and right back in through a window.”
The bartender overheard this and just shook his head while wiping down the bar.
The second man replied, “What? Are you nuts? There’s no way that could happen!”
“It’s true,” said the first man. “I’ll prove it.”
He stood up, jumped over the balcony, and plummeted toward the street.
As he passed the 10th floor, the wind whipped him around the building and carried him straight back into a window.
A moment later, he stepped off the elevator and sat back down at the bar.
The second man stared and said, “I saw that with my own eyes… but that must have been a fluke.”
“Nope,” said the first man. “Watch again.”
Once more, he jumped, fell, and was safely blown back into the building at the 10th floor.
Back upstairs, he urged his companion, “See? It works. Your turn.”
The second man shrugged and said, “What the heck.”
He jumped.
He fell past the 11th… the 10th… the 9th… and hit the sidewalk with a “splat.”
The bartender turned to the remaining man and said, “You know, Superman, you’re a real jerk when you’re drunk.”
