Bill, Jim, and Scott were at a convention together and were

sharing a large suite on the top of a 75 story sky scraper.

After a long day of meetings they were shocked to hear that the

elevators in their hotel were broken and they would have to climb

75 flights of stairs to get to their room. Bill said to Jim and

Scott, let's break the monotony of this unpleasant task by

concentrating on something interesting. I'll tell jokes for 25

flights, and Jim can sing songs for 25 flights, and Scott can

tell sad stories the rest of the way. At the 26th floor Bill

stopped telling jokes and Jim began to sing. At the 51st floor

Jim stopped singing and Scott began to tell sad stories. "I will

tell my saddest story first," he said. "I left the room key in

the car!"
