A Scout and two other passengers were flying in a small plane at 5000 feet when the pilot came out of the cockpit in a panic.
Pilot: "The plane is going to crash! I'm sorry, but we only have three parachutes. I have four young children, so I'm taking one of the parachutes. Good luck figuring out which of the three of you get the other two parachutes."
Scout: "You guys go ahead, it will be my Good Turn for the day to sacrifice my life."
Passenger 1: "Sure, kid. I'm way smarter than anyone, a genius in fact, so the most important thing is that I live." He straps on and jumps out of the plane.
Passenger 2: "Kid, I've lived a full life and you have your whole life before you — so, seriously, you should take the last parachute."
Scout: "That's OK, sir, we'll both be safe: the genius took my backpack!"
