A man walks into the bar of the penthouse restaurant of the Hilton in Times Square. A drunk walks over puts $100 on the bar and bets him the he could jump out the window and fly around the building.
The guy says, "You're drunk."
The drunk says, "I may be, but I'm going to do it whether you take the bet or not, so you might as well make the money, right?"
So, he puts $100 on the bar, the drunk opens the window, flies around the building, picks up the $200 and puts it in his pocket."
Incredulously, the guy asks, "How did you do that?"
"Easy," says the drunk, "I'm an architectural engineer and if you look at the height and location of this building with two larger buildings to the east and west, it creates a windtunnel that could support up to 300 pounds or so. You just lean your body and the air currents take you around. Now you go do it to that guy."
"I don't know," says the guy.
"Look," the drunk tells him, "if you don't I will, and you're down $100."
So the guy walks over, makes the bet, opens the window and plummets to his death.
The bartender looks up and says, "You're a real mean drunk, Superman."
The guy says, "You're drunk."
