Okay, here it is:
This businessman walks into the bar at the top of the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco. (It's an amazing building, has glass elevators going up on the inside so you can look down at the atrium, all open, pretty spectacular. And the outside is an odd shape, a kind of sweeping pyramid)
As usual, everybody at the bar was talking about the building, and how amazing the architecture is.
A very drunk man comes and sits down next to the businessman, and says "Man this building is really something -it's suicide proof. It's
impossible to die by jumping off of it"
The businessman doesn't really want to talk to the drunk, and tries to ignore him, but the drunk persists. "No, really man, if you jump off you will get swept back by the wind gusts because of the way the walls are sloped.."
"Yeah right" says the businessman, turning away.
"I'll prove it to you. Give me $50 and I'll do it."
"Cool" thinks the businessman"Then he'll go away"
So he gives the guy $50, and sure as heck, he runns over to the window and flings himself off of the building.
"Oh my god" says the business man, and he and all the other bar patrons went running over to the window, sure they would see the drunk spattered on the sidewalk below.
To everyone's horror, the drunk fell and fell and fell, down and down and down, and then, miracle of all miracles, just as he was about to be dashed to death on the sidewalk below, he was swept back up the side of the building and flew back into the bar, walked over, took his seat on the barstoll and resumed drinking.
"That was amazing" "That was phenominal" "I can't believe you did that"
He gave the drunk another $50, and the drunk did it again, with the same result.
"I'm going to do it!" says the businessman, and he ran to the window and flung himself off the building.
And he fell and fell and fell, down and down and down, and sure enough, he was dashed to his death on the sidewalk below.
The bartender, who had been watching the whole thing, shook his head and walked over to the drunk, and said:
"You know, Superman, when you drink you're a real jerk"
