Triffle

A plane was about to crash and there were 5 people on board and only four parachutes.

The first person said. “ I am Roy Keane, one of the best footballers in Ireland. I am worth a lot of money and my fans need me so I think I should be saved.” The others agreed and gave him one of the parachutes and off he went.

The second person said “I am Gerry Adams, a radical Irish politician who can really help my country and I think I should be saved.” The others said.” O.K.” and gave him a parachute.

The third person said “I am David Beckham, captain of the English National squad. I have a wife and two sons. Everyone knows I am a really nice guy and everyone thinks I am stupid, but I’m not, so I am taking a parachute.” and off he went.

There were two folk left, the Pope and a 10 year old schoolgirl.

The Pope said, “child I am old and frail and have lived my life while you are young with everything before you. You take the parachute and I will stay with the aircraft and take my chance”

“It’s O.K.” said the girl, “there are still two parachutes. David Beckham picked up my schoolbag.”
