Super Richard

A man walks into a swank top-story bar in a high-rise building and sits at the bar next to a man who is obviously three sheets to the wind. After he orders a drink, his stool neighbor slurs “I bet I can jump from that window over there and survive the ten story fall to the street below.” Incredulous, the man looks to the bartender who says “I ain’t getting involved in this bet again. You’re on your own, buddy.” The man decides to call his bluff and says to the stranger “I bet $100 you are not even sober enough to get the window open much less jump out the window.” The stranger stands immediately from the stool, walks to the window, opens it and leaps out. The man rushes to the window just in time to see the stranger’s descent rapidly decrease just before he would hit the pavement and he flies back through the air and through the window he had jumped through only moments before. The man dumbfoundedly pulls $100 from his wallet and asks “How did you do that?” “Simple,” the stranger replies, “there is a unique updraft at the base of this building that can catch a man and carry him right back through that window. For a hundred bucks, I’ll do it again.” The man pulls two more $100 bills from his wallet and gets the stranger to do it twice more. “Do you think it would work for me?,” the man asks. “Sure,” says the stranger, “give it a try.” The man steps to the window and flings himself out and falls flat to the pavement, dying instantly. The stranger returns to the bar, orders another drink and as the bartender delivers it he says “Superman, you sure are a mean drunk.”

That joke wasn’t that funny when Andy Leon told it to me in the 6th grade and it hasn’t really improved with age. Of note, though, is that Superdickery.cam has documented evidence that Superman is not as nice as we give him credit.
