Parachutes
Posted: Wed Nov 13, 2013 9:38 pmA doctor, a lawyer, a little boy and a priest were out for a Sunday afternoon flight in 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 he bailed out.
Unfortunately, only three parachutes remained. The doctor grabbed one and said, "I'm a doctor, I save lives, so I must live," and he 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 jumped out with my backpack."
