Four people are in a small plane, the pilot, a scientist, a minister and a boy scout. The craft develops a mechanical problem and they are too far away from anywhere to land the aircraft safely. When it becomes apparent that there is one parachute too few, the pilot grabs one parachute and says his aviation skills are too important to waste as he leaps from the craft. The scientist grabs a second parachute and states his mind is too valuable to be lost to mankind and likewise jumps out.
The minister says to the boy scout "You are too young to die so take the last parachute and go".
The boy scout replies "It's OK, there are still two parachutes left, one for each of us".
The minister says "How is that possible" as he and the boy hastily put their parachutes on.
"Well", he explained "the brains of the world just took my back pack".
