Smartest Man In the World

There were 3 passengers on a small plane along with the pilot. One was the smartest man in the world, one was a minister, and the other was a young college student. All of a sudden, the pilot shouted that the plane was going down.

There were only 3 parachutes. The pilot said that he had a wife and children who needed him, took one of the chutes and jumped out. There were now 2 parachutes.

The smartest man in the world said, "I'm the smartest man in the world, and I have made great contributions to civilization and culture and I must live so I can continue to do so." He grabbed a pack and jumped out.

The minister turned to the student and said, "I have lived a long and full life and I am ready to meet my creator." "You are young, and have your whole life ahead of you." "You take the last parachute."

The student smiled and said, "Relax Rev, the smartest man in the world jumped out of the plane with my backpack."
