A first grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, "Johnny, what is your problem?" Johnny answered, "I'm too smart for the first grade. My sister is in the third grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third grade, too!" The teacher had had enough. She took Johnny to the principal's office. While Johnny waited in the outer office, the teacher explained to the principal what the situation was. The principal told the teacher he would give the boy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions, he was to go back to the first grade and behave. The teacher agreed. Johnny was brought in, and the conditions were explained to him and he agreed to take the test.
Principal: "What is 3x3?"
Johnny: "9"
Principal: "What is 6x6?"
Johnny: "36"
And so it went with every question the principal thought a third grader should know. The pricipal looked at the teacher and told her, "I think Johnny can go to the third grade," The teacher said to the principal, "Let me ask him some questions." The principal and Johnny both agree.
The teacher asks, "What does a cow have four of that I only have two of?"
Johnny, after a moment, replies, "legs."
Teacher: "What is in your pants that you have, that I do not have?"
The principal's eyes opened really wide and before he could stop the answer, Johnny replied, "pockets."
The principal breathed a sigh of relief and told the teacher, "put Johnny in the fifth grade, because I missed the last two questions."

One night, a Delta twin-engine puddle jumper was flying somewhere above NewJersey. There were five people on board: the pilot, Michael Jordan, BillGates, the Dali Lama, and a hippie. Suddenly, an illegal oxygen generator exploded loudly in the luggage compartment, and the passenger cabin began tofill with smoke. The cockpit door opened, and the pilot burst into the compartment.
"Gentlemen," he began, "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that we're about to crash in New Jersey. The good news is that there are four parachutes, and I have one of them!" With that, the pilot threw open the door and jumped from the plane.
Michael Jordan was on his feet in a flash. "Gentlemen," he said, "I am the world's greatest athlete. The world needs great athletes. I think the world's greatest athlete should have a parachute!" With these words, he grabbed one of the remaining parachutes, and hurtled through the door and into the night.
Bill Gates rose and said, "Gentlemen, I am the world's smartest man. The world needs smart men. I think the world's smartest man should have a parachute, too." He grabbed one, and out he jumped.
The Dali Lama and the hippie looked at one another. Finally, the Dali Lama spoke. "My son," he said, "I have lived a satisfying life and have known the bliss of True Enlightenment. You have your life ahead of you; you take a parachute, and I will go down with the plane."
The hippie smiled slowly and said, "Hey, don't worry, dude. The world's smartest man just jumped out wearing my backpack."

Haha. That's awesome. I love that joke. It's a very awesome joke.
I mean, I wasn't expecting that at all. Although, I'm kindof glad that the Dali Lama would have given up his parachute to save someone else's life.
