Hopefully this one is offensive to nobody.


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".
