The Pilot, The Boy Scout, The Catholic Priest, and a Terrorist
So there was a boy scout, a pilot, a Catholic Priest, and a terrorist on an airplane. The pilots’ voice came over the intercom and said, “The plane is crashing. We have three parachutes and four people, so decide who will be left behind. I will take one because I have a wife and kids at home.” With that, the pilot took a parachute and jumped out of the plane.
The terrorist said, “I have a meeting with the President. I will take a parachute,” and he jumped off the plane with a backpack. The Catholic Priest said-
“Go young boy, for when I die, I will go live with God.”
“No thanks,” the Scout said. “That terrorist took my Boy Scout back pack.”
About 40,000 feet below them, a young boy sat on the curb in front of his house. He wished he could be a Boy Scout. Above him, the terrorist went to pull the parachute out of the back pack. All he got, was an expensive Boy Scout jacket. He tried again, five more times only getting hiking boots, a wad of money, another wad of money, and a Boy Scout Handbook. He dropped them all in frustration. I’m going to die! he thought. Below him, the boy was still wishing…
“I wish I had a Boy Scout jacket.” thunk. In front of him landed an expensive Boy Scout jacket.
“Wow! I wish I had a pair of hiking boots.” thunk. The hiking boots joined the jacket.
“Well, my family is kind of poor, so I wish I had money!” thunk. A large wad of money plopped next to the boots.
“More money!” thunk. Another wad of money.
“I wish I could have a Boy Scout handbook!” thunk. A Brand new Boy Scout Handbook!
“You know, I’m going to do America a favor. I wish a terrorist would die!” Ker-plop!
