Stop Me (If You’ve Heard This One)

I say, "Okay, I’ll have another one, but you have to help me write an entry."
One round later I say, "No, really, I have to write something."
And there’s one more round, and she says:

Okay, okay, so there are three guys, and they’re standing on Lookout Point. And they’re all drinking. Beers. And they’re drunk, and Guy #1 says to Guy #3, "Dude, I have this really cool trick: I can fly." And Guy #2 is like, "Man, just stop." And Guy #1 says, "No, no, no, really - I can fly! Anyone can fly. All you have to do is take a beer, crack it open, chug it really fast, and say over and over, ‘I can fly, I can fly, I can fly!’ If you really believe, you can jump off the cliff, and you’ll fly!!"

So Guy#2 is like, "Don’t listen to him." And Guy #1 is like, "No, really, you can, I’ll show you." And Guy #1 takes a beer, cracks it open, chugs it as fast as he can, throws the can on the ground, and yells, ‘I can fly, I can fly, I can fly!’ and he runs and jumps off the cliff and he falls and he falls and falls (sound effect), and then he suddenly flies back up and lands on the cliff.

So Guy #3 is like, "That’s amazing!" And Guy #2 says, "Really, don’t listen to him."

Okay, so Guy #1 is like, "I’m gonna do it!!" And he cracks a beer, chugs it down, and says "I can fly, I can fly, I can fly" as he runs to the edge of the cliff and jumps off.

And then ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, splat, he dies.

And Guy #2 says to Guy #1, "You’re such an asshole when you’re drunk, Superman."
