I want to talk about a very small literary achievement. Why? Because this week I get to celebrate one year of posting blogs. So I was thinking, what could I do to mark the occasion?

How about some of the best jokes I know and love, to share with everybody?

Good idea? Sweet! I’m going to share one joke today, one on Wednesday, and the final joke on Friday.

Alright, let’s do it!

A man went on holiday to America for the first time. He had booked himself into one of the country’s most expensive hotels, which had a bar for guests, on the top floor.

The man was really excited to be there, so he decided to have a celebratory drink. He walked into the bar and glanced around the room. There was a bartender and one other man, wearing a blue suit, sitting down drinking.

The man was so happy to be there, sat down next to the blue suited man, and ordered a cocktail from the bartender.

While the bartender was making the drink, the blue suited man turned and asked the man, if this was his first time to the city. The man replied that it was, but also, it was his first trip to America.

The blue suited man replied, “Excellent, excellent.” “Did you happen to see the smog outside the hotel, as you arrived?”

The man said, “Yes, I did. It looks awful.”

“It is,” replied the blue suited man. “It’s so bad, you could jump out of a window, and the smog is so thick, you would just bounce straight off it, and bounce back up inside.”

“That’s impossible!,” said the man. “I would love to see that.”

“Ok, then,” answered the blue suited man. “How about I bet you $50 that I can do it?”

“$50?” replied the man. “Alright then,” as he slapped $50 down onto the bar.

The blue suited man smiled, then stood up, and calmly walked over to the open window. He then turned and waved to the man, and jumped out of the window. A few seconds later, he jumped back inside.

The man was stunned. “I don’t believe it. That was amazing!” He took out $100 and slapped it down. “$100 says you can’t do it again!”

The blue suited man took his offer. He once again smiled, and calmly walked over to the open window. He turned and waved once again, then jumped. A few seconds later, he jumped back inside.

The man was erupting with excitement. “Can I do it?,” the man said.

The blue suited man laughed and responded, “Of course you can. Just walk over to the window and look down, until you can see the smog. Then close your eyes and jump. The smog is like a trampoline, so once you hit it, it’ll bounce you straight back.”

The man said, “I have to do this!”. He walked over to the window, looked down, closed his eyes and jumped. After a few seconds had passed, the man had not appeared at the window.

The blue suited man walked over to the window and looked down to see the man lying dead on the ground. He nodded, turned away and calmly sat down; but not before pocketing the $150.

The bartender had returned with the cocktail, then said, “Gee Superman, you can be a real bastard when you’re drunk.”

Thanks for reading and I’ll see you on Wednesday.
