An airplane was about to crash, and there were 5 passengers left, but only 4 parachutes. The first passenger, George W. Bush said, I am the President of the United States, and I have a great responsibility, being the leader of nearly 300 million people, and a superpower, etc., and I am also the smartest president ever. So he takes the first parachute, and jumps out of the plane.
The second passenger said, I’m Rasheed Wallace, one of the best basketball players in the NBA, and the Portland Trailblazers need me, so I can’t afford to die. So he takes the second parachute, and leaves the plane.
The third passenger, Hillary Clinton, said; I am the wife of the former President of the United States, I am New York’s Senator, and I am the smartest woman in the world. So she takes the third parachute and exits the plane.
The fourth passenger, an old man, says to the fifth passenger, a 10 year old boy scout, I am old and frail and I don’t have many years left, so as a Christian gesture and a good deed, I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute.
The boy scout said, It’s okay, there’s a parachute left for you. The world’s smartest president took my backpack.
