The Pope, a schoolboy and an unnamed American President are in a
plane. Suddenly the pilot suffers a heart attack and the craft takes a
nosedive. As the engines sputter, the three passengers try to stay
calm. 'Well,' says the Pope, 'we have established that none of us can
land this baby, so we're going to have to jump for it.' 'But there are
only two parachutes,' says the boy, pointing to a pile of bundles by
the exit. Without hesitating, the American President rushes over to
them, takes one and shouts: 'I am the President of the United States
of America. I am the world's most powerful leader. And apart from
that, I am the most intelligent President in the history of my

he leaps out of the plane. Now the Pope turns calmly to the schoolboy
and says: 'I am already old. I have already lived my life as a good
person and a priest. There is a place for me in heaven. I insist you
take the last parachute.' 'No need,' says the boy, 'America's most
intelligent President has taken my schoolbag...'
