1. Air Force One
Bill, Hillary and Vice President Gore were on their way back to Washington on Air Force One, when Bill said, "I'd like to drop a $100 bill out of the plane and make one person very happy".
Hillary thought for a moment then replied, "I’d rather drop ten, $10 bills out and make ten people very happy".
To which Vice President Gore said, "I would drop a hundred $1 bills out and make a hundred people very happy".
The pilot then spoke up and said, "Why don't all three of you jump out and make 250 million people very happy?"
2. Smartest Man in the World
A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy and a priest were out for a Sunday afternoon flight on a small private plane. Suddenly, the plane developed engine trouble. In spite of the best efforts of the pilot, the plane started to go down. Finally, the pilot grabbed a parachute, yelled to the passengers that they had better jump, and bailed out.
Unfortunately, there were only three parachutes remaining. The doctor grabbed one and said "I'm a doctor, I save lives, so I must live," and jumped out.
The lawyer then said, "I'm a lawyer and lawyers are the smartest people in the world. I deserve to live." He also grabbed a parachute and jumped.
The priest looked at the little boy and said, "My son, I've lived a long and full life. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Take the last parachute and live in peace."
The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest and said, "Not to worry, Father. The 'smartest man in the world' just took off with my backpack."
