The parachute

Once upon a time there was a small passenger plane that experienced some difficulty while flying from Montego Bay to Kingston and was about to crash.There were 5 passengers on board but alas, only 4 parachutes!!!

The 1st passenger says, "I'm Francois St. Juste, the best disc jockey in Jamaica and the FAME FM team need me, so I can't afford to die." He takes the 1st pack and jumps from the plane.

The 2nd passenger, Portia Simpson-Miller says, "I am the wife of a corporate executive, current deputy leader on the People's National Party and a potential future Prime Minister, I must live!!" So she takes the 2nd pack and jumps out of the plane.

The 3rd passenger, Percival Patterson , says "I'm the Prime Minister of Jamaica . I have great responsibility being the leader of a nation and I am the cleverest Pr ime Minister in Jamaica's history, so the Jamaican people won't want me to die." So he grabs the pack next to him and jumps out of the plane!

The 4th passenger, Bishop Hero Blair says to the 5th passenger a 10 year old schoolgirl, "I've had a very good life and since I am a practicing Christian, I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute my child." The girl says, "Nah, it's okay Rev , there is a parachute right here for you...Jamaica's best DJ just jumped outta the plane with my school bag."
