Superman

[sunshine51]

This business man goes up to a bar, located at the top of

the Empire State Building in New York. It looks like a nice

place. He takes a seat at the bar next to another guy.

"This is a really a nice place. I've never been here before,"

the first guy says.

"Oh really?", the other replies, "it's also a very special

bar".

"Why is that?", the first guy asks.

"Well, you see that painting on the far wall? That's an,

original Van Gogh. And this stool I'm sitting on was on the

Titanic."

"Gee, that's amazing!", the first guy says.

"Not only that, but you see that window over there, the fourth

one from the right? Well, the wind does strange things outside

that window. If you jump out you'll fall only about 50 feet

before an updraft catches you and you're pushed back up."

"No way, that's impossible", the first guy replies.

"Not at all, take a look", the other man replies and walks

over to the window, followed closely by the first man. He

opens the window, climbs up on the sill, and falls out.

He drops 10... 20... 30... 40... 50 feet, comes to a stop,

and whoosh! He comes right back up and floats back in through

the window.

"See, it's fun! You should try it", he says.

"Try it, I don't even believe I saw it!", the first man

exclaims.

"It's easy. Watch, I'll do it again". And with that, he

falls out the window again. He drops 10... 20... 30... 40...

50 feet.

Once again, he comes to a stop, and whoosh! He sails right

back up and floats safely through the window.

"Give it a try, it's a blast," he says.

"Well, what the heck, it does look like fun. I believe I will

give it a try", the first man says. He climbs up on the

window sill, and proceeds to fall out the window. He falls

10... 20... 30... 40... 50... 60...

70...

80...

90..

100 feet, and splat! He ends up on the sidewalk.

After watching the first man fall to his death, the other guy

casually closesthe window and heads back to the bar. As he

sits down and orders another drink.

The bartender arrives with the drink and says, "You know,

Superman, you're a real jerk when you're drunk!"
