Signs of fading stardom

A small luxury jet carrying a few important people was having engine problems. There where 5 people on the plane, George Bush, J.K. Rowling, Bill gates, and a old man and a boy scout.

There was only 4 parachutes left and they were deciding who should live and die.

J.K. Rowling stood up and said "I have children to take care of." She put on a parachute and jumped off the plane.

Next Bill Gates stood up he said "You can each have $1,000,000 if I can have one of those parachute packs." They agreed and he put on one of the packs and jumped off the plane.

There were 2 packs left.

President Bush stood up and said "I am president of the U.S." and he took a pack and jumped off the plane.

The old man and the boy scout were left and the old man said "I am old and have lived a full and happy life you take the last parachute boy."

The boy scout said "No need to sir, that last fellow took my back pack." The old man and the boy each took a parachute pack and jumped off the plane.
