Jump

[Guest guest]

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 a lawyer and lawyers are the

smartest people in the world. I deserve to live." He

also 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 back pack."
