Three men are standing on the observation deck of the World Trade Center. One man says to the two others, "Did you know that the sidewalk down there (pointing 110 stories down) is made of rubber, and that if you were to jump from here, you could bounce right back up?". This statement surprises one of the men, and he says, "Wait a second, may think I'm stupid, but you're not going to get me to believe that." So the first man says, "Here, I'll prove it", and he jumps from the building. The two one the top watch, as he falls, and falls, and falls, and they see him hit the sidewalk, and suddenly start to bounce back up. He lands right where he was standing before. The man who spoke before is up on the ledge in an instant, saying "If you can do it, I can do it. Here goes!" He jumps. and falls. and falls. and he hits the sidewalk and goes SPLAT! The two men lean away from ledge, and the silent one says, "Sometimes Clark Kent, you're a real prick." ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
