A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy scout and
a pastor were out for a Sunday afternoon flight
on a small private plane.
Suddenly, the plane developed engine trouble.
In spite of the best efforts of the pilot, the plane
started to go down.
Finally, the pilot grabbed a parachute, yelled
to the passengers that they had better jump, and
bailed out.
Unfortunately there were only three parachutes
remaining.
The doctor grabbed one and said "I'm a doctor,
I save lives, so I must live," and jumped out.
The lawyer then said "I'm the smartest man in
the world, I deserve to live!" He grabbed a parachute
and jumped, also.
The pastor looked at the little boy scout and said,
"My son, I've lived a long and full life. You are young
and have your whole life ahead of you. Take the last
parachute and live in peace."
The little boy scout handed the parachute back to
the pastor and said "Not to worry, Preacher. 'The smartest
man in the world' just jumped out with my backpack."
