A military cargo plane, flying over a
populated area, suddenly loses power and starts to nose down. The pilot
tries
to pull up, but with all their cargo, the plane is too heavy.
So he
yells to the soldiers in back to throw things out to make the
plane
lighter. They throw out a pistol. "Throw out more!" shouts
the pilot. So
they throw out a rifle. "More!" he cries again. They
heave out a
missile, and the pilot regains control.
He pulls
out of the dive and lands safely at an airport. They get into
a jeep
and drive off. Pretty soon they meet a boy on the side of the
road
who's crying. They ask him why he's crying and he says "A pistol
hit me on the head!"
They drive more and meet another boy who's
crying even harder. Again
they ask why and the boy says, "A rifle
hit me on the head!"
They apologize and keep driving. They meet a
boy on the sidewalk who's
laughing hysterically. They ask h
im, "Kid, what's so funny?" The boy
replies, "I sneezed and a
house blew up!"

A man jumps out of an airplane with a
parachute on his back. As he's falling, he realizes hiss chute is broken.
He
doesn't know anything about parachutes, but as the earth
rapidly
approaches, he realizes his options are limited; he takes off the
parachute
and tries to fix it himself on the way down. The wind is
ripping past
his face, he's dropping like a rock, and at 5000
feet, another man goes
shooting up past him. In desperation, the man
with the chute looks up
and yells, "Hey do you know anything about
parachutes?!"
The guy flying up looks down and yells, "No, do you
know anything
about gas stoves?!"

Air Force One crashed in the middle of rural
America. Panic stricken the Secret Service mobilized and descended
on
the farm in force. When they got there, the wreckage was clear.
The
aircraft was totally destroyed with only a burned hulk left
smoldering in a
tree line that bordered a farm. Secret Service
descended upon the
smoking hulk but could find no remains of the crew or
the President's
staff. To their amazement, a lone farmer was
plowing a field not too far
away as if nothing at all happened. They
hurried over to surround the
man's tractor.
"Sir," the senior
Secret Service agent asked, panting and out of
breath.
"Did
you see this terrible accident happen?"
"Yep. Sure did." The man
muttered unconcernedly.
"Do you realize that is the President of
the United States airplane?"
"Yep."
"Were there any
survivors?" the agent gasped.
"Nope. They's all kilt straight o
ut." The farmer sighed cutting off
his tractor motor. "I done
buried them all myself. Took most of the
morning."
"The
President of the United States is dead?" The agent gulped in
disbelief.
"Well," the farmer sighed, obviously wanting to get back to his
work.
"He kept a-saying he wasn't ... but you know what a liar he
is."

Aunt Bessie loved to visit her nieces and
nephews. However, she had relatives all over the country.
The
problem was that no matter how much she enjoyed seeing them, she
hated flying. No matter how safe people told her it was, she was always
worried that someone would have a bomb on the plane.
She read
books about how safe it was and listened to the stewardess
demonstrate all the safety features. But she still worried herself silly
every time a visit was coming up.
Finally, the family decided
that maybe if she saw the statistics she'd
be convinced. So they sent
her to a friend of the family who was an
actuary.
"Tell
me," she said suspiciously, "what are the chances that someone
will
have a bomb on a plane?"
The actuary looked through his tables
and said, "A very small chance.
Maybe one in five hundred thousand."
She nodded, then thought for a moment. "So what are the o
dds of two
people having a bomb on the same plane?"
Again
he went through his tables.
"Extremely remote," he said. "About
one in a billion."
Aunt Bessie nodded and left his office.
And from that day on, every time she flew, she took a bomb with
her.
