A pilot, Michael Jordon, Bill
Gates, the
Pope, and a pizza delivery man were all in a plane together

traveling through stormy conditions.

Suddenly, the pilot came running
back to the passengers and announced
that lightning had hit the
plane, and they were going to crash in a
matter of minutes. “There are
only enough parachutes for four of the five
of us,” he announced.
“Since I’m the pilot, I get one!” After
saying this, the pilot
grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the plane.

“I’m the world’s
greatest athlete,” proclaimed Michael Jordon.
“This world needs
great athletes, so I must live.” Michael Jordon then
grabbed a
parachute and leaped out of the plane.

“I’m the smarest man in the
world,” bragged Bill Gates. “The world
needs smart men, so I must also
live!” Bill Gates grabbed a parachute
and jumped out of the
plane.

At this point, the Pope began to speak. “I have lived a long
life
compared to you, and you may take the last parachute. I will
go down with
the plane.”

“You don’t have to stay here! The
world’s smartest man jumped out of
the plane with my backpack.”
