A plane was about to crash. 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.”
