Asylum Escape

There were these two guys in a lunatic asylum... and one night, they decide they don't like living in an asylum anymore. They decide they're going to escape!

So, like, they get up onto the roof, and there, just across this narrow gap, they see the rooftops of the town, stretching away in the moonlight... stretching away to freedom. Now, the first guy, he jumps right across with no problem. But his friend, his friend didn't dare make the leap. You see... You see, he's afraid of falling.

So then, the first guy has an idea... He says "Hey! I have my flashlight with me! I'll shine it across the gap between the buildings. You can walk along the beam and join me!" B-but the second guy just shakes his head. He suh-says... He says "Wh-what do you think I am? Crazy? You'd turn it off when I was half way across!"

Alright listen up, buttercup. So, these dudes are in the loony bin, right? One guy's all "Let's bounce!" and the other is scared to jump across the roof gap. Smarty-pants suggests using a flashlight beam as a bridge, but the scaredy-cat thinks his buddy will turn off the light mid-jump. Get it? He's in an asylum, but he's not dumb enough to fall for that! You probably would, though, because your brain is as smooth as a bowling ball.
