It seems that an airplane with 5 people aboard runs into mechanical trouble. The captain announces the problem and states that since he must report the incidence he cannot die in the crash. He takes one of the parachutes and bails out. Realizing the situation, another man gets up and says: "I am the president of a country that is at war and must get to a peace conference." He takes a parachute and bails out. Yet another man gets up and says: "I am Dr. Henry Kissinger and being the worlds smartest man, I cannot die in a plane crash". He also takes a parachute and bails out. This leaves only a priest and a hippie. The father looks around and noting that only one parachute remains, he says: "My son, you take the remaining parachute and bail out. I have lived a good life and know where I am going when I die. You on the other hand are young and have much to live for." To which the hippie replies: "Cool it father...neither one of us is going to die.. The worlds smartest man just bailed out with my backpack". Robert Chapman ptsfa!ptsfc!brc "Being alive is only half the problem"
