A
special bar
A man goes
into a bar at the top of the Empire State Building
in New York. It looks like a nice place so he
takes a seat at the bar next to another guy.
"This is a nice place, I've never been
here," the first guy says.
"Oh really?" the other replies,
"it's also a very special bar."
"Why is that?" the first guy asks.
"Well see that painting on the far
wall?That's an origional Van Gogh, and this stool
I'm sitting on was from 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!"
exclaims the first man.
"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 through
the window again. "Go ahead, give it a try,
it's a blast," he says.
"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..50..100...200...300..500...1000 feet
and SPLAT!... ends up as road pizza on the
sidewalk below.
After calmly watching the 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!"
