Two men are sitting at the bar atop the Empire State Building, drinking too much. 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 wind around the building is so intense that it carries you around the building and back into the window."

The bartender justs 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 hell 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, and jumps. Again, just as his body hurtles towards the street, the 10th floor wind gently carries him aound 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 jumps over the balcony, plunges downward, rapidly passes the 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th floors...and his body hits the sidewalk with a loud splat.

Back upstairs, the bartender who has been silent the whole time turns to the first drinker, shakes his head, and says, "You know, Superman, you're a real jackass when you drink."
