Plane Trouble
Date: Thu, 30 Sep 1999 19:56:24 EDT
A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy and a priest were out for a Sunday
afternoon flight on a small private plane. Suddenly, the plane developed
engine trouble. In spite of the best efforts of the pilot, the plane
started to go down. Finally the pilot grabbed a parachute, yelled to
the passengers that they had better jump, and bailed out. Unfortunately
there were only three parachutes remaining. The doctor grabbed one and
said "I'm a doctor, I save lives, so I must live," and jumped out. The
lawyer then said, "I'm the smartest man in the world, I deserve to
live!" He grabbed a parachute and jumped. The priest looked at the
little boy and said, "My son, I've lived a long and full life. You are
young and have your whole life ahead of you. Take the last parachute and
live in peace." The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest
and said "Not to worry, Father. The smartest man in the world just took
off with my backpack."
