A doctor, a pastor, a lawyer and a boy scout were passengers on a small plane. Halfway through their flight trip, the plane developed engine trouble. The pilot tried hard to correct the problem but it was to no avail. So the pilot announced that they have to bail out of the plane and that there are 3 parachutes left in the passenger cabin. So the pilot who was already wearing a parachute jumped out the plane after making the announcement.

The doctor told the other passengers that he lives to save people, so he grabbed one bag, put it over his back, and off he went. Then the lawyer grabbed a bag, put it over his back and told the boy scout and the pastor that he has to go next because he is the smartest man in the world, and the world needs his kind.

The pastor then grabbed a bag and gave it to the boy scout saying "Here son, go on and live your life in peace. I am old, have lived my life, and know where I am going when I die". The boy scout smiled back and told the pastor "Don't worry, sir, we have two parachutes left, we can safely go. The smartest man in the world just took my backpack."
