IJMC A New Bar

                          IJMC - A New Bar

Tonight was my mom's birthday and I'm pretty sure she's happy. My sis and 
I took her out for a nice meal and then gave her some gifts and things. 
It's a good end to what's been a hectic day. But then, I've always 
thought that the more taxing your Monday, the better your week.     -dave







Hi Dave,

This is my first attempt at a submission, so don't be too harsh.  I'd 
like to give credit for this joke to my 92% crazy friend Hui Dai.  
Anyway here it goes:

There are two guys sitting in a newly built bar at the top of the Empire 
State Building.  The first guy points over at a ledge overlooking the 
city and says to the guy next to him, "You know, if you jump off that 
ledge over there, you'll fall for about 50 feet and then a gust of wind 
will pick up and lift you right back up to the ledge!  It's this bar's 
premier attraction!"  The second guy looks over at the ledge, then at 
the man, then back at the ledge.  He says, "I don't believe a word of 
it!"  The first guy picks up again, "Look, I know it sounds crazy, but 
believe me, it works!  Here, watch."  The first guy then takes a running 
start and leaps right off the ledge.  About ten seconds later, he 
miraculously floats back up to the ledge and walks into the bar.  The 
second guy is amazed at this, and being a little tipsy, decides to try 
for himself.  So he takes a nice running start and makes a fantastic 
jump outward from the building.  He falls, and falls, and falls right 
past 50 feet... 100 feet... and makes a nice pancake in the middle of 
New York traffic.  The bartender shakes his head, gives a disapproving 
look at the first man and says, "Geez, Superman!  You can be a real jerk 
when you're drunk!"
