Mr. Tambourine Man

A newspaper reporter and his date are sitting in an urban beer-garden at the top of a 40 story building, having a few drinks when a drunken acquaintance, barges in and sits down at their table. After a few drinks the reporter starts in with a strange story:
"You know on a windy day like this you can actually jump over the railing here and the wind will blow you right back up."
The drunk has a good laugh with this and then challenges the reporter:
"OK, why don't you show us how that works?"
And the reporter does just that, walks over to the railing and without hesitation leaps over the edge, disappears for a few seconds, pops back up and lands right back on the safe side of the railing. The drunk is stunned.
"Wow, that is the most incredible thing I have ever seen! I have got to try that!"
And without a moment's pause the drunk leaps over the railing and falls like a brick 40 flights to his death. The reporter's date is shocked by all this and blurts out:
"You know Clark, I don't care if you're Superman or not. You get a couple of drinks in you and you can be a really horrible person!"
