Another true story-
One day President Reagan, Chairman Brezhnev, the Pope, and
a boy scout were flying together in an airplane.  Right
out in the middle of nowhere the plane developed engine
trouble and started to go down.  Unfortunately, only three
parachutes could be found for the four passengers! Brezhnev
grabbed one of the parachutes and declared "Comrades, as
leader of the socialist workers revolution, my life must
be spared."  And he jumped out of the plane.  Then Reagan
exclaimed "As leader of the greatest nation on earth, I
I must keep the world safe for democracy."  And with that
he too jumped to safety.  Now if you are following all this
(or counting on your fingers) you must see that there is
only one parachute left for the two remaining passengers.
The Pope looked kindly upon the boy scout and said "I have
had a long and productive life, my son.  You take the parachute
and leave me in God's hands."  "That's very kind of you," the
observant scout replied, "but there is no need.  Reagan just
jumped out with my knapsack."
