NCR Saturday Joke of the Day

Two guys sitting at a bar on the top floor of the Empire State Building. One guy turns to the other and says, You know that there is something very strange about the way they built this structure. The designers made it impossible to kill yourself by jumping out a window. The bartender looks over and shakes his head as in disgust. The man says that due to the way the building was designed that whenever something falling reaches the 10th floor, the aerodynamics are such that they will sweep any falling person to safety. When the other gentlemen snickered the guy telling the story stood up and said watch I will prove it.

He set his drink down, walks over to the edge and takes a head first dive off the building. As his friend watched he plunges farther and farther towards the ground, 40th floor, 30th floor, 20th floor. Then right about the 10th floor the wind miraculously seemed to sweep him inside an open window and save his life.

After taking an elevator back to the top the other man told him that that was the most
amazing thing he had ever seen, but it must have been a fluke. The man replied no fluke and I will do it again. Without another word he once again dove head first off the side of the building. As amazing as the first time the same exact thing happened right at the 10th floor and the man was saved from sure death. When the elevator arrived at the top the second time, the other gentleman was elated at what he had just seen and exclaimed that he must try this himself right away.

He cautiously walked to the edge, closed his eyes and took the dive. As the first man and the bartender watched the man sailed past the 40th floor, the 30th floor, the 20th floor, the 10th floor, and finally hitting the ground with such force that he was killed instantly. The bartender then turned to the other guy and
exclaimed, "Superman, you can be such an A**hole when you drink.
