Two guys in a bar

Two men are sitting at the bar at the top of the Empire State Building
drinking, when the first man turns to the other one 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 wind around
the building is so intense that it carries you around the building and
back into the window."

The bartender just shakes his head in disapproval while wiping the
bar, but says nothing.

The second guy says, "What? Are you insane? There's no way in heck
that could happen!"

"No, it's true," said the first man, "let me prove it to you."

He gets up from the bar, jumps over the balcony and plummets toward
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. He meets the second man, who is
astonished.

"You know, I saw that with my own eyes, but that must've been a
one-time fluke. That was scientifically impossible!"

"No, I'll prove it again," says the first man as he jumps. Again, just
as his body hurtles towards the street, the 10th floor wind gently
carries him around the building and into the window. He takes the
elevator back to the bar.

Once upstairs, he successfully urges his dubious fellow drinker to try it.

"Well, what the heck," the second guy says, "I've seen that it works,
so I'll try it!" He immediately jumps over the balcony - plunges
downward - rapidly passes the 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th floors ...his body
hits the sidewalk with a loud "splat."

Back upstairs, the bartender who had been silent the whole time turns
to the first drinker, and shakes his head. He says,

"You know, Superman, you're a real asshole when you're drunk."
