The Greatest Misery
Two friends shared an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of a skyscraper. One pleasant afternoon, they went down to the basement bar for a few whiskies.
Unfortunately, a power cut struck just as they wanted to go home. With the elevator out of service, they had no choice but to take the stairs.
On the way up, one suggested telling stories about the worst suffering in the world to make the climb seem shorter.
When they reached the ninety-eighth floor, one suddenly said, "I'll tell you something more miserable than anything we've talked about so far."
"What?"
"I left our apartment key down at the bar!"
