| A packed plane was flying over the Atlantic at night. Suddenly, the pilot says, "Ladies & Gentlemen, the plane is losing altitude & we must throw out all the baggage." A little later, the pilot says, "We're still losing altitude, we must throw out any hand baggage that is in the cabin. Despite more things being thrown out the plane continues its descent. Pilot, "Still going down, we must throw out some people." There's a big gasp from the passengers! The Pilot says, "But to make this fair, passengers will be thrown out in alphabetical order... So... A... any Africans on board?" No one moves. "B... any Blacks on board?" No one moves. "C... any Caribbeans/Chinese on board?" Still no one moves. A little Parsi boy asks his dad, "Dad, I'm scared; P is coming closer and we are Parsis." Dad: "Tonight son, remember we are Zoroastrians." |
