Will he jump?

A redhead walked into a sports bar around 9:58 PM. She sat down next to a blonde at the bar and stares up at the TV. The 10:00 news was on. The news crew was covering a story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump. The redhead turned to the blonde and says, "You know, I bet he'll jump."

The blonde replied, "Well, I bet he won't." The redhead placed $20 dollars on the bar and said, "You're on!"

Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death.

The blonde was very upset and handed her $20 dollars to the redhead and said, "All is fair. Here is your money."

The redhead replied, "Honey, I can't take your money, I saw this earlier on the 5 o'clock news and knew he would jump."

"I did too, but I didn't think he'd do it again", said the blonde.
