A REAL JERK
This guy enters a bar located at the top of
the Empire State Building in New York. It looked like a nice place and he then takes
a seat at the bar next to another guy. "This is 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 Gough, 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, fourth from the right? Well, the wind does strange things outside
that window. If you jump out, you'll fall about 50 feet before the wind 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 over 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
sails back 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 shouts.
"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, comes to a stop, and whoosh!...he comes right back up and
sails back through the window.
"Go ahead, give it a
try, it's a blast!" he says.
"Well, what the heck, OK...I'll give
it a try," the first man says and proceeds to fall out the window. He
falls 10...20...30...40...50...100... 200...300...500...1000 feet and SPLAT!!!!... ends up
as road pizza on the sidewalk below.
After calmly watching the first man fall to
his death, the other guy casually closes the window and heads back to the bar and orders
another drink.
The bartender arrives with the drink and
says, "You know, Superman, you're a real jerk when you're drunk!"
