[Jeanette X]

The Pope, a schoolboy, and George W. Bush are on an airplane. Suddenly the pilot suffers a fatal heart attack, and the plane starts to fall out of the sky, and there are only two parachutes available. The Pope turns to the others and says:

"I've lived a long and fruitful life. Each of you take a parachute and don't worry about me."

The president grabs one, straps it on, and jumps out of the plane.

The boy watches him go, turns to the Pope and says:

"Go ahead and grab one."

The Pope says:

"What do you mean? There's only one left!"

The boy shakes his head.

"No, there's two. The president took my backpack."
