Four people are on a plane: the pope, the president of the United States, the prime minister of the UK and a schoolboy. The plane is about to crash and the pilot informs them there is only three parachutes available.
The prime minister says, “I need a parachute, I’ve got to keep running the government!” So he grabs a parachute and jumps out of the plane.
The president says, “I need a parachute, I’ve got to keep running the country!” So he grabs a parachute and jumps out of the plane.
The pope, however, smiles at the schoolboy and says, “You take the last parachute, I’ve already lived my life.”
But the schoolboy smiles back at him and says, “There’s no need sir, the president took my backpack.”
