Demon Clown Baby

Two men are working on a construction site. They start to get into an argument about who is stronger. They can’t have a wrestling contest because of the dangerous nature of the site, tools and all sorts of construction materials all over; someone would get hurt. So they decide to throw bricks up in the air, and the one who can throw it highest is the strongest.

The first man takes a brick, and he throws it high up into the air. 10 seconds later, it comes back down with a thud. The 2nd man says, “Ha! That’s all you’ve got?” He throws a brick up into the air, and it takes 20 seconds to come down. “Oh Yeah?!” shouts the first man. He heaves a brick up with a mighty groan and a full minute later, it comes down. “That’s nothing!” snarls the 2nd man. He crouches down, breathes hard, and jumps up, hurling the brick as hard as he can. Five minutes later, it comes down with a tremendous thud. The first man tries again, grunting and sweating, and 20 minutes later the brick comes down. The 2nd man takes his turn, and an hour later, the brick comes down. The first man is getting ready to try again when the foreman comes running out. He starts yelling at the two men. “What is all this commotion? Why aren’t you working?!” They explain the contest. The foreman snorts with derision. “I’ll show you who is the strongest.” He spits on his hands and grabs a brick. He pauses, then hurtles the brick up as hard as he possibly can… and it never came down.
