Two men are sitting at the bar at the top of the

> The bartender just shakes his head in disapproval

>
> The second guy says, "What? Are you insane? There's

> "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

> That was scientifically

> "No, I'll prove it again," says the first man as he
> jumps. Again, just as
> his body hurtles toward the street, at the 10th
> floor the 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 ventillation orafice
> when you're drunk."
