Today the Priest told a pretty good joke. Therefore, I felt obligated to share it.

A boy was up talking to the pilot when all of the alarms started going off. The pilot looked up gravely from the instruments. He told the boy. "It looks like we are going down, there are four parachutes. However, we have five passengers so take them back and choose who to give them to.

The boy walked back to the passengers and explained the situation to them....

The first man got up and said. "I am a famous celebrity. If I die millions will be traumatized." So he took one parachutes and jumped out of the plane.

The second man stood up and said. "I am a war veteran and an important Senator. If I die it will cause a power vacuum in Washington." So he took a parachute and jumped out of the plane.

The third man said. "I am the most intelligent man in the world. If I die so does all the important knowledge I have acquired through the years. Think of all the problems that won't be solved with my death." He got up and grabbed a pack and jumped out of the plane.

The boy walked over and handed the parachute he was holding to a little old lady.

She looked up and smiled. With tears in her eyes she said. " I have lead a long and good life. Please take this so you can enjoy the rest of yours."

The boy replied. "It is ok. There are two left. The worlds most intelligent man took my book bag. Since he was so smart I figured he knew what he was doing."
