Sorry Donald. You Know I Love You Really

[naomi24]

A plane with five passengers on board, Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Angela Merkel, the Pope, and a ten year old schoolgirl is about to crash and there are only four 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 and jumps.

Johnson says, ‘I’m needed to sort out the Covid-19 mess in the UK’, 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 schoolgirl. I’ve lived my life and yours is only just starting.’

The little girl replies, ‘Don’t worry. There are two parachutes. The smartest man in the USA took my schoolbag.’

Sorry Denton/Mamyalynne. I've not heard it before - and I don't 'do' Facebook. It made me chuckle anyway.

[Mamyalynne]

true, weecalf, sometimes you can't see the ground around here for all the crumpled politicans clutching schoolbags. Still a good story though.

When I heard it years ago it was Blackburn manager Ray Harford who jumped out holding the satchel.
One of those jokes you can alter to suit your audience.

Just been to the butchers and saw Reece-Mogg on the way out. "Just got a lb of sausage for Boris," he said to me. "Fair swop" I replied.
