Parachutes

[Darkside]

(An oldie but I like it)

The pilot of a aeroplane suddenly drops dead, leaving the 5 people on the plane have to determine who gets the 4 parachutes before it crashes into the mountains.

Firstly up steps an eminent scientist who states 'I have just developed a cure for Aids but only I know the formulae-so I must live' The others agree he should have a parachute and off he goes.

Secondly Bill Gates rolls up, 'Im donating millions of dollars to vaccinate children against disease in the developing world, without me millions will die- so I must survive' The others agree and off he goes.

Thirdly, up steps David Beckham who says 'Well, Im like the Captain of the England team on the road to the World Cup, I have 3 young children and Im a hero who brings hope to millions, so I must live' The others agree and off he goes.

The final two people left are the Pope and a young girl.

The Pope turns to the girl and says 'my dear, you are young and have your whole life ahead of you, I am old and have had a full life with god waiting for me on the other side, I do not fear death'

'Don't worry' replies the little girl, 'There are still 2 parachutes left, David Beckham took my school rucksack'
