Sergeant Session

A very laid-back session was kicked off by the President who challenged us all to better her story of the trip from Sydney – the long way round.  This stimulated a few plane stories and much general banter.

*******************************

Another Very Plane Story

A small plane is flying from Dallas to Denver, and about halfway there, the engine sputters and dies. The pilot runs out, grabs a parachute and opens the door and says “sorry, there are only three parachutes left”, and he jumps out.

This leaves the 4 passengers startled. One is a 12-year-old boy, a college professor, a priest, and a doctor.

The doctor says “Guys obviously I need to be saved. I heal people, I save people’s lives, I’ve cured many a disease and I am a valuable resource to the human population. “ The Doctor grabs a parachute and jumps out the plane.

The professor says “Well I am a college professor, I’ve won the noble peace prize for my writings, I have spoken to the leaders of the free world, the President of the United States, he called me the smartest man alive. I will invent new things and solve many of the world’s problems. It is obvious I need to be saved.” He grabs a parachute and jumps out, leaving the Priest and the young boy and only one parachute.

The priest looks sadly at the young boy… “Son, I’ve lived a wonderful life. I’ve seen the world over and been to many places. I've been blessed by so many good things. I’ve lived a long and fruitful life. I only have a few precious years left to live. You are young, the rest of your life in front of you… Sadly, I think you should take the last parachute.”

The boy says “It okay sir. The smartest man alive just jumped out of the plane with my backpack. “
