A doctor, a lawyer, a Rabbi and little Moishie Brown were out for a Sunday afternoon flight on a small private plane. Suddenly, the plane developed engine trouble. In spite of the best efforts of the pilot, the plane started to go down. Finally, the pilot grabbed a parachute, yelled to the passengers that they had better jump, and then he bailed out.
Unfortunately, there were only three parachutes remaining. The doctor grabbed one and said "I'm a doctor, I save lives, so I must live," and jumped out.
The lawyer then said, "I'm a lawyer and lawyers are the smartest people in the world. I deserve to live." He also grabbed a parachute and jumped.
The Rabbi looked at little Moishie Brown and said, "Moishie, I've lived a long and full life. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Take the last parachute and live a life full of mitzvahs."
Little Moishie handed the parachute back to the Rabbi and said, "Not to worry, Rabbi. The 'smartest man in the world' just took off with my back pack."
