James the Depressed.

James was depressed as he looked through the window and saw soot and grime. He was up on the 30th floor of the building. He opened the window and jumped through and landed without injury...
-He landed on solid ground
-He is a perfectly normal human
-He was COMPLETELY unharmed
-The building had at least 30 legitimate floors, it was hundreds of metres up from the ground.
-There were no trampolines or fabrics to cushion his landing.
How did he land on solid ground without being harmed? What else can you say about James?

James loved parachuting
James was a window cleaner and was depressed when he saw the soot and grime that he had to clean and so jumped to the window cleaner platform directly outside.
He had a REALLY close call with bungee jumping

So that leaves the window cleaner platform. But is that really solid ground?

No. The the building floor is  . He jumped from the platform into the interior building after gloomily realising that he had to clean the insides of the window.

Ah, that makes sense.
Although people really ought to close their windows. You wouldn't want to be cleaned out by your window cleaner.

Well, a building floor isn't really solid ground either.

Well, it's solid. And it's ground, in a sense.
But conventionally, I'd have to say solid ground refers to the actual ground at ground level.

When I first read it, I thought it had something to do with James Bond.

Did James fall hundreds of meters?
Was he depressed because he felt alienated due to being a giant?
