An airplane was about to crash..
There were five passengers on board, but only four parachutes.
The first passenger said, “I am President Obama, the chosen one and the smartest man in American history. The world needs me, I can’t afford to die.”
So he took the first parachute and left the plane.
The second passenger, Tony Abbot said, “I am the Prime Minister of Australia. The people of Australia don’t want me to die. They need me.”
He took the second parachute and jumped out of the plane.
The third passenger, John Kerry said, “I’m a Senator, Secretary of State and a decorated war hero from the Army of the United States of America.”
He grabbed the parachute next to him and jumped.
The fourth passenger, ex-President George W Bush said to the fifth passenger, a 10-year-old schoolgirl; “I have lived a full life and served my country the best I could. I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute.”
The little girl said “That’s okay, Mr President. There’s a parachute left for you…, America’s smartest man just took my schoolbag.” |
