Bob, a handsome dude, walked into a sportsbar around 9:58 PM. He sat down next to a blonde at the bar and stared up at the TV. The 10 PM news was coming on. The news crew was covering the story of a man on the ledge of a tall building preparing to jump.
The blonde looked at Bob and said, "Do you think he'll jump?' Bob says. "You know, I'll bet he'll jump." The blonde replied, "Well, I'll bet he won't." Bob placed a $20 on the bar and said,"You're on!"
Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off the building, falling to his death. The blonde was very upset but willingly handed her money to Bob, saying ,"Fair's fair. Here's your money."
Bob replied, " I can't take your money. I saw this on the 5 PM news so I knew he would jump." The blonde replied, " I did too, but I didn't think he'd do it again."
Bob took the money.
A real knee-slapper, yes?
