Parachutes

[firestorm_al]

A plane was about to crash and there were 5 people on board and only 4
parachutes.

The first person said. " I am Roy Keane, one of the best footballers in
Ireland. I am worth a lot of money and my fans need me so I think I should
be saved."

The others agreed and gave him one of the parachutes and off he went.

The second person said "I am Gerry Adams, a radical Irish politician who
can really help my country and I think I should be saved."
The others said." O.K." and gave him a parachute.

The third person said "I am David Beckham, captain of the English National
squad. I have a wife and two sons. Everyone knows I am a really nice guy
and everyone thinks I am stupid, but I'm not, so I am taking a parachute."
and off he went.

There were two folk left, the Pope and a 10 year old schoolgirl. The Pope
said, "child I am old and frail and have lived my life while you are young
with everything before you. You take the parachute and I will stay with
the aircraft and take my chance"
"It's O.K." said the girl, "there are still two parachutes. David Beckham
picked up my schoolbag."
