Jumping off the empire state building
Posted: Wed Dec 21, 2005 1:08 pm
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 bartender just shakes his head in disapproval while wiping
the bar, but says nothing.
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.
"You know, I saw that with my own eyes, but that must've been a
one-time fluke. That was scientifically impossible!"
"No, I'll prove it again," says the first man as he jumps. Again,
just as his body hurtles towards the street, the 10th floor wind
gently carries him around the building and into the window. He
takes the elevator back to the bar. Once upstairs, he
successfully urges his dubious fellow drinker to try it.
"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,
"You know, Superman, you're a real A**hole when you're drunk."
