Barak Obama, Sonia Sotomayor, a Boy Scout, and a Catholic Cardinal are flying in an airplane when it develops engine trouble. The pilot announces this by taking a parachute and leaving the airplane.
The four search the airplane and find there are only three parachutes.
Barak Obama says, "I am the leader of the free world, I should have a parachute," puts one on, and leaves the airplane.
Sonia Sotomayor says, "I am a Wise Latina, I should have a parachute, puts one on, and leaves the airplane.
The Cardinal turns to the Boy Scout and says, "My son, I have lived a long life, I have tried to always be good to to others, I am ready to meet God, you take the parachute."
The Boy Scout says, "Father, there are still two parachutes. The wise Latina took my knapsack."

The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

I LOL'ed.
This joke could only be better if the Boy Scout was using the first parachute for knot tying practice.

The way I first heard this one, Carter took the Scout's pack, as he was the leader of the free world and the smartest man alive...

"smartest man alive" and "always the smartest man in the room". . .
Maybe it should be "ladies first"?
