The Bet

Jack, a handsome man, walked into a sports bar around 9:58 pm.  He sat down next to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the bar and stared up at the TV as the 10:00 news came on.

The news crew was covering the story of a man on a ledge of a large building preparing to jump.  Alexandria looked at Jack and said, "Do you think he'll jump?"

Jack says, "You know what, I bet he will."

Alexandria replied, "Well, I bet he won’t."

Jack placed $20 on the bar and said, "You're on!"

Just as she placed her money on the bar, the guy did a swan dive off of the building, falling to his death.  She was very upset and handed her $20 to Jack, saying, "Fairs fair... Here's your money."

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

Alexandria replies, "I did too, but I didn't think he'd do it again." 

Jack took the money.  Alexandria went back to work at the US Congress.
