Four people are on a plane: the pope, the president of the United States, the prime
minister of the UK and a schoolboy. The plane is about to crash and the pilot informs
them that there is only three parachutes available.
The prime minister says:
“I need a parachute, I’ve got to keep running the government!”
So he grabs a parachute and jumps out of the plane.
The president says:
“I need a parachute, I’ve got to keep running the country!”
So he grabs a parachute and jumps out of the plane. The pope, however, smiles at the
schoolboy and says:
“You take the last parachute, I’ve already lived my life.”
But the schoolboy smiles back at him and says:
“There’s no need sir, the president took my backpack.”
