A plane was about to crash and there were 5 people on board and only 4 parachutes.

The first person said. "I am Roy Keane, one of the best footballers in Ireland. I am worth a lot of money and my fans need me so I think I should be saved."

The others agreed and gave him one of the parachutes and off he went.

The second person said "I am Gerry Adams, a radical Irish politician who can really help my country and I think I should be saved."

The others said. "OK" and gave him a parachute.

The third person said "I am David Beckham. I have a wife and 2 sons. Everyone knows I am a really nice guy and everyone thinks I am stupid, but I'm not stupid, so I am taking a parachute." and off he went.

There were two folk left, the Pope and a ten year old schoolgirl.

The Pope said "Child, I am old and frail and have lived my life while you are young with everything before you."

"You take the parachute and I will stay with the aircraft and take my chance"

"It's OK..." said the girl, "there are still two parachutes. David Beckham picked up my schoolbag!"
