One fine afternoon at a golf course, two men were
just finishing up the front nine when they decided to take
a breather in the clubhouse. They went up to the lounge
room and sat down and ordered a glass of beer. They
started flipping thru the channels when they decided
to watch the news. The first thing that was on was a woman
about to commit suicide.
The first man says, "I bet you 100 dollars that she is
gonna jump."
The second man, says, "OK, but I raise your 100 to 200
dollars saying she is not going to jump."
About four seconds after they were done making the bet,
she leapt off the building, falling 17 stories, she hit the
ground with a bone crunching sound.
As the loser of the bet started to get his wallet out of
his back pocket the other man butted in to stop him.
"Listen, I can't take your money, I saw this earlier today
and I knew she was gonna jump."
"So did I," the man said, I just didn't think she was dumb
enough to do it again."
