Frank and Joe were watching the
news. A suicidal man was standing
on a bridge, and police were trying to talk him down. "Bet you five bucks
the guy jumps," Frank said.
"You're on!" Joe replied.
They watched with great interest for a few minutes, and suddenly the
man threw himself from the bridge.
"Here's your five dollars," Joe said. "I really didn't think
he'd do it."
"I can't take your money," Frank confessed. "The same story was
on
earlier, on the five o'clock news."
"No, no, take it," Joe insisted. "I saw it at five, too, but
I didn't think
the guy was stupid enough to jump again."
