I love a good joke and so here is my contribution to this
place. Here is one joke of many that I hope to stick up in the
Infolanka joke pages. I hope you like it.

Arjuna Kulatunga

You are one of a group of people on board an airplane. Suddenly the pilot enters the
cabin and says you are about to crash. Sadly there is only one parachute left.

Pessimist: You refuse the parachute because you might die in the jump anyway.

Optimist: You refuse the parachute because people have survived jumps like this
before.

Bureaucrat: You order a feasibility study on parachute usage in a multi engine aircraft
under code red conditions.

Internal Revenue Service: You confiscate the parachute along with the luggage,
wallets and gold filings.

Engineer: You make another parachute out of curtains and dental floss.

Mathematician: You refuse to accept the parachute without proof that it will work in
all cases.

Philosopher: You ask how we can know the parachute actually exists.

Psychoanalyst: You ask what shape the parachute reminds them of.

Dramatist: To tie them down so that they can watch you develop the character of a
person stuck on a falling plane without a parachute.

Artist: You hang the parachute on a wall and sign it.

Environmentalist: You refuse to take the parachute unless it is biodegradable.
