This guy goes up to the bar at the top of the Empire State Building and takes a seat 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." The first guy asks, "Why is that?" The second guy says, "Well, 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." The first guy laughs, not believing it. "Take a look", the other guy replies and walks over to the window. He opens the window, climbs over the sill and jumps 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. The first guy is still too scared to try. "It's easy. Watch, I'll do it again," the second guy says. And with that, he jumps out again. 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. "Give it a try, it's a blast," he says. "Well, what the heck, I'll give it a try", the first man says and proceeds to fall out the window. He falls 10...20...30... 40...50...60...70...80...90..100 feet and splat! He ends up as road pizza on the sidewalk. After watching the first 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."
