Description: Manhole cover classic
One day this lunatic man was jumping up and down on a manhole cover
screaming at the top of his lungs, "Seventeen!!  Seventeen!!"  Intrigued by
the man's insane behavior, another man walks over to him and asks why he is
doing that.  The crazy man responded, "It's a blast.  You have to try it.
Jump as high as you can and scream 'Seventeen!!' as loud as humanly
possible.  You get such a rush.  Try it."  Reluctantly, the second man gets
on the manhole cover and barely hops and says, "Seventeen?" very timidly.
The insane man says, "No, no, no.  You're doing it wrong.  Jump higher.
Yell louder."  So, the second man begins jumping a little higher and
speaking louder than normal.  Finally he says, "Hey, you know, I am getting
a little bit of a rush.  Seventeen!!  Seventeen!!"  The man jumps higher
and higher, screaming louder and louder.  The first man, once the second
had jumped high enough, yanked the manhole cover out from under the second,
causing him to fall to his death.  The original man replaced the cover and,
once again, began jumping and screaming, "Eighteen!!  Eighteen!!"
