High Above Fifth Ave. and 34th Street

Two men were 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 overhears this and just shakes his head in disapproval while

wiping down the bar.

The second man says, What, are you a nut? There is no way in hell that

could happen!

The first man says, No, its true. Let me prove it to you. 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 where he takes the elevator back up to

the bar.

The second man says, You know, I saw that with my own eyes, but that must

have been a one-time fluke.

The first man says, No, it isnt. Ill 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.

The second man says, Well, what the hell, it works, Ill try it. He jumps

over the balcony, plunges downward,

and passes the 14th..13th…12th..11th…

Back upstairs, the bartender turns to the other drinker and says,You Know,

Superman. youre a real asshole when you get drunk.
