An aeroplane was about to crash; there were 5 passengers on board but
only 4 parachutes.
The first passenger said, " I'm Kobe Bryant, the best NBA basketball
player, the Lakers need me, I can't afford to die....So he took the
first pack and left the plane.
The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, said, "I am the wife of the
former president of the United States, I am also the most ambitious
woman in the world and I am a New York Senator and a potential future
president." She just took the second parachute and jumped out of the
plane.
The third passenger, George W. Bush, said: "I'm President of the United
States of America, I have a great responsibility being the leader of a
superpower nation. And above all I'm the cleverest President in American
history, so America's people won't let me die." So he put on the pack
next to him and jumped out of the plane.
The fourth passenger, the Pope, says to the fifth passenger, a 10
year-old school boy, "I am old and frail and I don't have many years
left, as a Catholic I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last
parachute.
The boy said, "It's OK, there's a parachute left for you. America's
cleverest President has taken my schoolbag."
