An aircraft is about to crash. There are five passengers
on board, but unfortunately only 4 parachutes.
The first passenger says "I'm Shaquille O'Neill, the best
NBA basketball player. The Lakers need me, it would be
unfair to them if I died". So he takes the first parachute and jumps.
The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, says "I am the wife of
the former President of the United States. I am also the most
dedicated woman in the world, a Senator in New York and America's
potential future President. She takes one of the parachutes and jumps.
The third passenger, George W. Bush, says " I am the President of
the United States of America. I have a huge responsibility in world
politics. And apart from that, I am the most intelligent President
in the history of the country and I have a responsibility to my people
not to die". So he takes a parachute and jumps.
The fourth passenger, the Pope, says to the fifth passenger, a ten
year old schoolboy "I am already old. I have already lived my
life, as a good person and a priest I will give you the last
parachute". The boy replies "No problem, there is also a parachute for you.
America's most intelligent President has taken my schoolbag..."
Besides I don't recall Mr Clinton having a rep for being stupid. Randy, perhaps, but never stupid. I actually liked him. Pity I never got to meet him in my stint working in the American Embassy in London a few years back.
