The Joke.
A TV News reporter is standing on the edge of a bridge, preparing to jump.
Another man runs up to him and asks him why he's going to jump.
Reporter: I can't find a good story; and if i don't find one by tomorrow my boss is going to fire me.
Man: My sob story is even worse; I was just fired yesterday, and my wife dumped me for my boss.
The man then stepped on the edge of the bridge with the reporter.
Another man saw them standing on the edge, and asks them why they're standing on the edge, so they both tell them their reasons.
Third Man: So what? I haven't had a steady job since my wife killed herself out of guilt for sleeping with my boss.
The third man stepped on the ledge with them.
Then another man told his sob story, and joined them on the bridge, as did another, and another, until eventually ten of them were standing there.
Man Two: I don't think I can bring myself to jump. Too afraid.
The rest agreed with him. The reporter then came up with a bright idea.
Reporter: Why don't we all jump together? Then we'll surely have the courage to jump.
At that moment, they all agreed. At the count of three, all of them jumped off the bridge....except for the reporter.
Reporter: -laughs- This is going to make for one hell of a story.
