Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, the Dali Lama and a college student were all
traveling on an airplane. The pilot came out and said, "We're goin' down!"
So, he took a parachute and jumped out, leaving just three parachutes left.
Michael got up and said, "I'm the world's greatest athlete. The world
needs great athlete."
So he took a parachute and jumped.
Then Bill Gates got up and said, "I'm the world's smartest man. The
world needs smart men."
So he also took a parachute and jumped.
Then with only one parachute left, the Dali Lama said, "I lived a long
life and have fulfilled my dreams. You take the last parachute and jump."
The student smiled and said, "Thanks, but that won't be necessary. The
world's smartest man just took my backpack."
