So Billy Joel is in his limo stuck in traffic on the brooklyn bridge, he’s sitting and sitting and sitting and finally a cop walks by. Joel rolls down the window and asks what the hold up is. “Some guy threatening to jump” the cop says, “We talked to him, the Priest talked to him, the shrink talked to him, his wife talked to him, he won’t come down.”
Joel asks “Can I talk to him?”
Cop says sure, why not, and walks Joel up to the guy. Billy Joel introduces himself and sings the guy a heart rending version of “Don’t Try Suicide”, brining the crowd of onlookers to tears.
“Thanks a lot” the guy on the bridge says,
“It was Piano Man that got me up here in the first place.”
