There are five poeple in a plane, The Pope, David Beckham, Gerry Adams, Roy Keane and a little girl, aged 10. Unfortunately, the plane runs out of fuel, so the passengers will have to use parachutes. The pilot quickly steals one of the parachutes, and escapes, so there are 4 parachutes between the five passengers.
Roy Keane says "I should take one, because i am a very important footballer, I have lots of fans and I am important to them." The others agree, so Keane escapes.
Gerry Adams says "I am an important politician, I can make peace in Northern Ireland, so surely I must take one." The others agree, so Adams escapes.
David Beckham says "I am a very important footballer, an idol to kids. I have two kids of my own and wife..and I want a chance to prove to people that i am not stupid, like they think"
So he takes a parachute and escapes.
The pope says to the little girl, "Only one parachute is left. I am old, you have your whole life ahead of you...take the last parachute, save yourself."
The girl says "No, there are two left, Beckham took my satchel"
