megaplayboy Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Plane with 5 passengers on board: Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Angela Merkel, The Pope and a 10-year-old schoolboy. The plane is about to crash and there are only 4 parachutes. Trump says I need one: “I’m the smartest man in the USA and am needed to make America great again.” Takes one and jumps. Johnson says, ‘I’m needed to sort out Britain’. He takes one and jumps. The Pope says, ‘I need one as the world needs the Catholic Church.’ He takes one and jumps. Angela says to the ten year old: “You can have the last parachute. I’ve lived my life, yours is only just starting.” The 10-year-old replies: “Don’t worry, there are 2 parachutes left. The smartest man in the USA took my school bag.” Ragitsu, Pariah, Tom Cowan and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 I think I'd rather just let the 10 year old have all 4. What? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Neilson Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 I'm pretty sure there are three left. I'm just not sure what Johnson grabbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 I've read and heard many predictions over the years that in capitalist societies, human lives would one day be openly weighed against corporate profits. We're getting a lot closer to that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csyphrett Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Remember when Assault and I were talking about Rand Paul and his efforts to stop the government from doing the minimal amount of help that it does now. Guess who tested positive for C-19. At least he can afford to stay home and not give it to anyone else other than his family and staff CES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they actually believe that, is when they'll have lost. When they no longer bother to hide their greed and venality, they'll be forcibly reminded they have no power but what the rest of us give them.
