When Leaps of Faith Are a Matter of Choice

A man walks into a bar, sits down, and orders a drink. The bartender, noticing the frown on the man's face, says, "I can either serve you a drink or tell you how to be as happy as you were when you were a child." The disheartened fellow scoffs at the bartender and leaves the tavern, preferring to drink where the bartender is a little less imposing. Later that night the man drinks so much he decides to jump off a bridge. He breaks his legs and several ribs upon impacting the water, thusly incapacitating his ability to save himself.
