There were four passengers in the plane flying along smoothly, when the engines started to sputter then quit. The pilot came back to the cabin and said:" There is good news and bad news. The bad news is, we are going to crash. The good news is there are four parachutes." With that he grabbed the first parachute and jumped out. The first passenger jumped up and said;"I’m Micheal Jordon. One of the world’s great athletes. The world needs great athletes." grabbed the second parachute and jumped out.With that the second passenger lept from his seat and said;

" I am Bill Gates. One of the smartest men in the world. The world needs smart men." Grabbed a parachute and jumped out. The third, the Dali Lama looked at the hippy and said;" Son I am an old man and have had a full rich life. I am not afraid to die.

You are young and have your life ahead of you, you take the last parachute and save

yourself." The hippy turned to the Dali Lama and said; "No sweat man. Keep COOL.

There’s no problem the smartest man in the world just jumped out with my backpack."
