There was a plane and in that plane were four people – a pilot, a lawyer, a priest and a kid.

Suddenly, the plane loses power to both engines and it starts going down. The pilot, realising there are only three parachutes on board says, “I have a family and a daughter that is expecting.”

He grabs a parachute and jumps out of the plane.

The lawyer says, “Well I’m the smartest man on earth so I have to live.”

He grabs a parachute and jumps out of the plane.

There is one parachute left and the priest notices this and says to the kid, “son, go ahead, take the last one. I have lived my life.”

The kid looks around the plane and says, “Wait! We can both live.”

“How can that be?” asks the priest.

“Because the smartest man in the world just jumped off with my backpack.”
