This classic joke is a hilarious tale of priorities gone wrong during a plane emergency. It all comes down to a “smart” decision!
A small plane is flying from Melbourne to Sydney, and about halfway there, the engine sputters and dies. The pilot runs out, grabs a parachute and opens the door and says “sorry, there are only three parachutes left”, and he jumps out.
This leaves the 4 passengers startled. One is a 12 year old boy, a college professor, a priest, and a doctor.
The doctor says “Guys obviously I need to be saved. I heal people, I save peoples lives, I’ve cured many a diseases and I am a valuable resource to the human population.“ The Doctor grabs a parachute and jumps out the plane.
The professor says “Well I am a college professor, I’ve won the noble peace prize for my writings, I have spoken to the leaders of the free world, the President of the United States, he called me the smartest man alive. I will invent new things and solve many of the worlds problems. It is obvious I need to be saved.” He grabs a parachute and jumps out, leaving the Priest and the young boy and only one parachute.
The priest looks sadly at the young boy… “Son, I’ve lived a wonderful life. I’ve seen the world over and been to many places. I’ve been blessed by so many good things. I’ve lived a long and fruitful life. I only have a few precious years left to live. You are young, the rest of your life in front of you… Sadly, I think you should take the last parachute.”
The boy says “It okay sir. The smartest man alive just jumped out of the plane with my back pack.“
