My friend Ellen Mullin forwarded this to me:
Joe walked into a sports bar around 9:58 PM. He sat down next to a blonde, Beth, at the bar and stared up at the TV. The 10:00 PM news was coming on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump.
The Beth looked at Joe and said, "Do you think he’ll jump?"
Joe says, "You know, I bet he’ll jump."
The blonde replied, "Well, I bet he won’t."
Joe placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, "You’re on!"
Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy on the ledge did a swan dive off the building, falling to his death.
The blonde was very upset, but willingly handed her $20 to Joe, saying, "Fair’s fair. Here’s your money."
Joe replied, "I can’t take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 PM news and so I knew he would jump."
The blonde replied, "I did too; but I didn’t think he’d do it again."
