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 the smartest man in the world, I deserve to live!" He
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 back pack."You might be a Yankee if.......
