KLBC: "Superman"



Superman

So this guy is visiting NYC for the first time, and he decides to stroll into
the Empire State Building.  He goes up the floors, and stumbles into a bar
way up near the top of the building.  He looks in and thinks, "not bad," and
decides on a few drinks. He sits down on the bar stool along the bar, and
looks around.  "Nice," he thinks to himself.  Goes over to the man sitting
next to him and says, "this is a nice place!"

{*NYC*Daq leng romuluSngan. *EmpireState* qach 'el. qach DungDaq toS 'ej tach
'el. Daq parHa'qu' 'ej tlhutlh. Hoch Dochmey bejchu'. ba'bogh loD retlhDaq

"Yeah, it's a real special place too."
{bIlugh. Daq le'qu'.}

"Oh yeah?  How so?"
{teH'a'? qatlh?}

The man points to a painting on the wall, "That's an original Van Gogh, and
that stool you're sitting on is from the Titanic."
{*wall*Daq HaSta cha' loD 'ej jatlh Dochvam 'oH *VanGogh*na''e'. quS
Daba'bogh *titanic*Daq tu'lu'pu'.}

"Wow!" the guy says.
{toH jatlh loD}

"Yeah, and you see that window over there?  It's a magic window.  If you jump
out of it, you'll only fall 50 feet, then the wind carries you back up in
through the window."
{Qorwaghvetlh Dalegh'a'? le' 'oH. bISupchugh vaj 50 *qamDu'* neH bI*fall* 'ej
DucheghmoH SuS.}

"Bullshit," the guy says.
{Dapna' jatlh loD}

"No, really.  I'll show you."  And the man gets up, walks to the window,
opens it and jumps out.  
{Hu' loD 'ej Qorwagh ghoS. poSmoH 'ej vegh.}

He starts falling, 10 feet, 20-30-40-50...  Then all of a sudden, he starts
rising up again. 50-40-30-20-10, then back into the window.
{*fall* 'e' tagh. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 *qamDu'* juS. pay' cheghlI'. 50, 40, 30,
20, 10 'ej QorwaghDaq mev.}

"Holy shit!" the guy says.  "I don't believe it!"
{Dajqu' jatlh loD. not Dochvam vIleghpu' chel.}

"I'll show you again," the man says, and proceeds to jump out the window
again.  10-20-30-40-50, then 50-40-30-20-10 back into the window.  "You give
it a try."
{jISupqa'qang jatlh 'ej Qorwagh veghqa'. tugh cheghqa'. DaH yInID yIruch ra'
puvbogh loD}

"Hell, I'm game," and the guy takes a big swig from his drink, then jumps out
the window.  He starts falling 10-20-30-40-50-60-70-80-90-100... SPLAT!!!
 And falls to his death.
{tlhutlhchu' loD 'ej Qorwagh vegh 'ej Sup. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80,
90, 100...splash!! Heghqu' loD.

The man casually walks over to the window, closes it, and sits back down to
the bar.  The bartender comes over to him and says, "Hey Superman, you're a
real asshole when you're drunk."
{DaH Qorwagh ghoS loD 'ej SoQmoH. tachDaq chegh. ghaH ghoS chom 'ej jatlh

--- Is there a word for fall, falling down?
