Hippie arcs down from a window on an upper floor of a high-rise apartment building. He's shouting, "Whee-e-e-e-e-e-e-e. . . ." all the way down. But his exuberance is cut short by the sound of a sickening "SPLAT!!" when he hits the sidewalk. Dead. Very dead.

Questioning witnesses on the street, police identify the window he came out of, go upstairs, and knock on the apartment door. Another hippie opens the door. The whole apartment reeks with pot smoke.

"What happened up here?" one of the cops asks.

"Well, says the hippie, "my buddy Maynard decided he wanted to fly around the building a couple of times."

"And you let him!??" asks the incredulous cop.

"Well, shit, man," said the hippie, "I thought he could make it!"

Busted!
