Two men are drinking in a bar at the top of the Empire State
Building.
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 winds around the
building are so intense that they carry you around the
building and back into the window.”
The bartender just shakes his head in disapproval while
wiping the bar.
The 2nd Man says: “What are you, a nut? There is no way
that could happen.”
1st Man: “No, it’s true. Let me prove it to you.” So he gets
up from the bar, jumps over the balcony, and careens to 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.
The 2nd Man tells him: “You know, I saw that with my own
eyes, but that must have been a one time fluke.”
1st Man: “No, I’ll prove it again” and he jumps and hurtles
toward the street where the 10th floor wind gently carries
him around the building and into the window. Once upstairs,
he urges his fellow drinker to try it.

2nd Man: “Well, it works, I’ll try it.” So he jumps over the
balcony, plunges downward, passes the 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th
floors... and hits the sidewalk with a ‘splat.’
Back upstairs, the Bartender turns to the other drinker:
“You know, Superman, you’re a real jerk when you drink.”
