An airliner is flying over the ocean, carrying representatives from the United Nations. About halfway across, they realize they don't have enough fuel. The pilot says they need to drop some weight because a lighter plane uses less fuel. So they dump all the luggage. The plane is still too heavy. They dump all the seats. Still too heavy. With nothing left to dump, and a deadly crash inevitable, an Englishman yells, ""God save the Queen!"" and jumps to his death. The plane is still too heavy. A Frenchman yells, ""vive la France"" and jumps to his death. still too heavy. Finally, a Texan stands up and yells, ""remember the Alamo!"" and throws out the Mexican.
