iamom | a good clean joke

B thought this joke was too predictable, but I laughed out loud when I received it by e-mail yesterday:

An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 passengers on board but only 4 parachutes. The first passenger said, "I'm Mats Sundin, the best NHL hockey player, the Leafs need me, I can't afford to die..." So he took the first pack and left the plane.

The second passenger, Hillary Clinton, said, "I am the wife of the former president of the United States, I am also the most ambitious woman in the world and I am a New York Senator." She just took the second parachute and jumped out of the plane.

The third passenger, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, said: "I'm the Brains of Canada, I have a great responsibility being the leader of the greatest nation in the world. And above all I'm the smartest Prime Minister in Canadian history, so Canadians won't let me die." And so he grabbed the pack next to him and jumped out of the plane.

The fourth passenger, the Pope, said to the fifth passenger, a 10 year-old school boy, "I am old and frail and I don't have many years left. As a Catholic I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute."

The little boy said, "It's OK, there's a parachute left for you. The Brains of Canada has just jumped with my school bag."
