President Clinton, the smartest man in the world, an old priest and a young kid were the only ones in a plane that had lost its crew members. The plane was sinking very quickly and there was no way that it could be saved. There were only three bags of parachutes remaining in the plane. President Clinton quickly jumped up grabbed one of the bags and said to the others,

"I'm the most powerful man in the world. I'm the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. The world needs me to solve all of its problems."

Without saying much more, he jumped out of the plane.

The smartest man in the world then jumped up, grabbed one of the bags and said to the others,

"I'm the smartest man in the world. I'm very important to the survival of this world for I can solve all of the world intricacies."

Without saying another word, he quickly jumped out of the plane.

The old priest then got up and croaked to the little kid,

"Sonny, you can take the last bag lying over there against the wall. I have lived the way I wanted to and I have experienced many wonderful things in life. I feel certain that the Lord will reward me for the good deeds that I have done. It's only fair that you get to experience what I've experience. You seemed to be a very special kid."

The kid replied to the priest,

"No, I do not think it would be nice for me to take that bag lying against the wall. I think you should take it."

"And why is that", said the priest who was in a state of shock.

The kid answered, "Because the smartest man in the world just took by back-pack. This bag I have on my back contains one of the parachutes."
