The Smartest Man in the World

Read a great joke in Faith and Doubt by Ortberg: A plane was going down. On board were the smartest man in the world, a boy scout, and the pilot. There were only two parachutes. The smartest man in the world grabbed one and yelled as he dove out of the plane that he was doing this for the world--it needed him. The pilot told the boyscout that he had lived a full and satisfying life, and the he wanted to boyscout to be able to have the parachute since he had his whole life ahead of him. The boyscout said, "Relax, the smartest man in the world just jumped out of the plane with my backpack."
