An airplane 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 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."
