Thread: A doctor, a little boy, a lawyer, and a priest... (joke)

A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy, and a priest were all out for a Sunday afternoon flight on a small private plane. The plane suddenly developed engine trouble. In spite of the pilot's best efforts, the plane started to go down. The pilot grabbed a parachute and yelled to the passengers that they had better jump too. He opened the hatch and jumped out.

Unfortunately, there were only three parachutes remaining. The doctor grabbed one, saying, "I'm a doctor. I save lives, so I must live." He jumped out of the plane.

The lawyer then grabbed the next one, saying, "I'm a lawyer and lawyers are the smartest people in the world. I deserve to live."

The priest looked at the little boy and said, "My son, I've lived a long and full life. You are young and have many years ahead of you. Please, take the last parachute and live in peace."

The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest. "Not to worry, Father. The 'smartest man in the world' just took off with my backpack."
