Suicide Bet

An Italian was sitting at the bar, having a beer and chatting to the barman. The 6 o'clock news came on TV, and the first story showed a man on the ledge of a high-rise building, threatening to jump. The bartender said to the Italian, "Bet you ten bucks he jumps."

"OK," said the Italian.

A minute later the bloke jumps to his death, and the Italian hands over the ten-spot.

"Hey mate, I can't take your money -- I saw this earlier on the five o'clock news, so I knew he was going to jump," the barman said.

"No, take the money -- I saw it too but didn't think he'd be silly enough to do it again...."
