This guy goes up to a bar located at the top of the Empire State Building in New York. It looks like a nice place and he takes a seat at the bar next to another guy. "This is a nice place. I've never been here before," the first guy says. "Oh, really?" the other replies, "it's also a very special bar." "Why is that" asks the first guy. "Well, you see that painting on the far wall? That's an original Van Gogh, and this stool I'm sitting on was on the Titanic." "Gee, that's amazing!" says first guy. "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!" "Not at all, take a look," the other man says and walks over the the window, followed closely by first guy. 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 through the window. "See? It's fun. You should try it." "Try it? I don't even believe I saw it!" "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 whoooosh! comes right back up and sails back through the window. "Give it a try! It's a blast!" he says. "Well, what the heck! I'll give it a try." the first guy says and proceeds to fall out the window. He falls 10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 feet and all the way to the pavement below where he becomes road pizza. After 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, sometimes you're a real jerk."
