    1. Jumper

    An american tourist is walking down Yonge Street in Toronto and sees a man jumping up and down on a manhole cover yelling "29, 29, 29". The tourist asks the man, "Hey buddy, why are you jumping up and down here on this manhole cover and shouting '29'?"

    The man says, "Well, I can't really tell you that. It's an ancient native ritual that is supposed to clear the mind and bring bliss to the soul. It's something one must experience on their own - you can gladly try it out yourself".

    The tourist thinks about this for a moment, then his curiosity gets the better of him, and he says, "Okay."

    So the tourist gets on the manhole cover and starts jumping up and down yelling "29, 29, 29". While in mid-air, the man yanks the manhole cover away and the tourist plummets into the hole.

    The man then calmly places the manhole cover back in place, gets back on and resumes jumping: "30, 30, 30".
