One For Jesse
Trent Lott is on a tour of New York, and ends up drinking at this bar way up in a skyscraper with Simon and Garfunkel. While they're drinking, this guy comes up, obviously intoxicated, and starts talking to Trent about how strong the drafts are between all the skyscrapers. Trent, who's never been in a building taller than the King Edward Hotel, is just amazed with this guy starts telling him how a guy could actually jump out a window from their 40th story bar, and the air currents between the building would actually be strong enough to carry him back up.
Trent's pretty skeptical, but sure enough, the guy goes to the window, and jumps out. Trent watches in horror as the guy falls like a stone for like 25 stories straight down, but, sure enough, about 150 feet up, he starts slowing, until about five stories off the ground, he starts floating back up. The guy floats back in through the window, and walks back over to where Trent's waiting.
"Wow, that was amazing," Trent says, "I've got to try that." So, sure enough, Trent jumps out the window, and, sure enough, he falls like a brick 40 stories down to the pavement below.
Simon and Garfunkel just shake their heads as the guy walks back towards them. "Dang," Art says, "you're a mean drunk, Superman."
