On a barely similar vein:

Years ago, an airplane was flying back from a conference of some sort. On the plane were Jimmy Carter, Leonid Brezhnev, Valery Giscard D'estang (French president), a cardinal, and a hippie.

The pilot came back and said, "We're going to crash, there are only 4 parachutes left!" With that, he jumped out of the door with his own parachute on.

Brezhnev said, "As leader of the world's greatest socialist republic, I must survive," put on a parachute and jumped out.

Jimmy Carter said, "As leader of free world, I must survive," also puts on a parachute and jumps out.

Giscard D'estang says, "As the world's most intelligent leader, I must survive," straps one on, and jumps out.

The cardinal says to the hippie, "My son, I have lived a long life while you're still young. You take the last parachute."

The hippie says, "Hey no problem father, the world's most intelligent leader took my backpack!"
