Texan Joke

[John Berger]

There were these four passengers in a plane. They were a Texan, Brit, Mexican, and Frenchman. The pilot comes out and says;



"I've got some good news and bad news. The bad news is the engine's failed and we're gonna crash. The good news is there's three parachutes left. "



And the pilot jumped out long before they could do anything about it. So they got to talking about who'd be the first one to go. They decided on the Frenchman because he was just 18 and, ahem, still hadn't enjoyed the many things life has to offer.



So they give him a parachute, he jumps out yelling "Vive la France!"



The decide the British gentlemen should go next seeing as how he was a father and a married man. He gets the next parachute and jumps out saying "God save the queen!"



So it's down to the Texan and the Mexican and a single remaining parachute. So who goes next?



The Texan grabs the parachute and throws the Mexican out the plane yelling "Remember the Alamo!"

Why did he throw the Mexican out of the plane?

What did he do with the parachute?

And did the Texan remember to jump out after?? With the parachute? Come on now, dont just leave us hanging?? Did the plane run out of gas a few feet from the ground? Then safely stop before it crashed??

You have to let us know these things. Details are soo important. .

Well, I'm assuming that the Texan had the sense to use the parachute, although the joke is silent on the matter. My personal guess is the Texan eschewed the parachute, sat back and drank a cold one and right before the plane hit the ground, stepped out, ala Bugs Bunny in that cartoon episode involving the crashing airplane. I am open to questions and/or grievances with that interpretation, however.
