The Schoolgirl and the Smartest Man in the U.S.

A plane with five passengers on board — Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Angela Merkel, the Pope and a 10-year-old schoolgirl — is about to crash and there are only 4 parachutes.

Trump says: “I need one. I’m the smartest man in the USA and I’m needed to solve the pandemic!” He takes one parachute and jumps.

Johnson says: “I’m needed to sort out the COVID-19 mess in Britain.” He takes one and jumps.

The Pope says: “The world’s Catholics depend on me for comfort in a time of fear.” He takes one and jumps.

“You can have the last parachute,” Merkel says to the 10-year-old. “I’ve lived my life. Yours is only just starting.”

The little girl replies: “Don’t worry, there are two parachutes left. The smartest man in the USA just took my school bag.”

    Good one!!! Hi Norbert — if I don’t always leave a comment, it’s because my Safari (Mac) browser does not support certain blogs, like yours. I can read it on Safari, but need to go to Chrome to comment. But keep up the postings. I read them all. 😀
