An aircraft is about to crash. There are five passengers on board, but
unfortunately only 4 parachutes.
The first passenger says “I’m Shaquille O’Neill, the best NBA basketball
player. The Lakers need me, it would be unfair to them if I died”. So he takes
the first parachute and jumps.
The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, says “I am the wife of the former
President of the United States. I am also the most dedicated woman in the world,
a Senator in New York and America’s potential future President. She takes one of
the parachutes and jumps.
The third passenger, George W. Bush, says ” I am the President of the United
States of America. I have a huge responsibility in world politics. And apart
from that, I am the most intelligent President in the history of the country and
I have a responsibility to my people not to die”. So he takes a parachute and
jumps.
The fourth passenger, the Pope, says to the fifth passenger, a ten
year old schoolboy “I am already old. I have already lived my life, as a good
person and a priest I will give you the last parachute”.
The boy replies “No problem, there is also a parachute for you. America’s most
intelligent President has taken my schoolbag…”
