The smartest man in the world?

An airplane carrying Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson, the Pope, and a boyscout developed engine problems. The pilot said the plane was going down, everyone was to fend for themselves, and he jumped out.

The group dug around, and could only find 3 parachutes.

Jesse Jackson proclaims, "I must have one of the parachutes! My people look to me for leadership, and my life's mission is not yet complete." He grabs one of the chutes and jumps out.

Bill Clinton says, "I'm the President of the United States! I'm the smartest man in the world! I must lead our nation!" and he grabs a chute and jumps out.

The Pope looks at the boyscout and says, "You know my son, I have had a wonderful life, and your's is just beginning. Please, you take the last parachute."

The boyscout says, "Hey don't worry about it! The smartest man in the world just jumped out with my backpack!"
