We need some humor during these trying times.

A plane has five passengers on board: the doctor, the Pope, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and a 10-year-old school girl. The plane is about to crash, and there are only four parachutes.

The doctor said, “I need to help find a cure for the pandemic.” He takes one and jumps.

The Pope said, “I need one as the world needs the Catholic Church.” He takes one and jumps.

Trump said, “I know more than the generals. I know more about the pandemic than doctors. I am the smartest man in America. Everyone in our country loves me and needs me.” He takes one and jumps.

Hillary said to the 10-year-old girl, “You can have the last parachute. I’ve lived a long fulfilling life. Yours is still ahead of you.”

The 10-year-old girl replied, “Don’t worry. There are two parachutes left. The so-called smartest man in America took my backpack.”

Stay safe.
