Parachutes

Both Al Gore and Dan Quayle were in New Hampshire campaigning. In the spirit of bipartisanship they shared an airplane between campaign stops. On the plane with them (for who knows what reason) were the Archbishop of New Hampshire and a Lubavitcher rabbi.

As they crossed the White Mountains the plane lost power and the pilot bailed out. The remaining four quickly counted parachutes but found only three parachutes still on the plane.

Gore shouted, "I'm the Vice President. I have to survive!", grabbed a 'chute and jumped.

Quayle shouted, "I'm the only hope for the Republican party and I have to survive!", grabbed a 'chute and jumped.

The Archbishop turned to the rabbi and said, "Rabbi, I am an old man. I am not married and have fathered no children. Take the last parachute and save yourself".

The Lubavicher replied, "Not to worry, Father, there are still two 'chutes left. Quayle jumped with my tallis and tefillin."
