A little humor to lighten the mood

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

An airplane was about to crash. There were 4 passengers on board but only 3 parachutes.
The 1st passenger said, “I am Steph Curry, the best NBA basketball player. The Golden State Warriors and my millions of fans need me, and I can’t afford to die.” So he took the 1st pack and left the plane.
The 2nd passenger, Donald Trump, said, “I am the newly elected US President, and I am the smartest President in American history, so my people don’t want me to die.” He took the 2nd pack and jumped out of the plane.
The 3rd passenger, the Pope, said to the 4th passenger, a 10 year old schoolboy, “My son, I am old and don’t have many years left, you have more years ahead so I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute.” The little boy said, “That’s okay, Your Holiness, there’s a parachute for you. America’s smartest President took my schoolbag."

It's a classic format, but I still didn't see it coming.

Here's an old one I'll adapt:

Donald Trump Jr went to the Olympic games with two friends Dmitri Volstov and and Kim Doo Pan.
When they got there they discovered all the ticket were taken for that day.

Dmitri went to an auto parts store and bought a hubcap. He stripped to his underwear and ran through the gates yelling: Russia, Discus!
The other two saw that worked so Kim Doo Pan went to a department store and bought a clothes prop. He too stripped down, scurried through the gates yelling: North Korea, Javelin!

Don Junior thought for a while then went to a hardware store and bought 50 feet of barbed wire. He stripped of his clothes and wrapped the wire around himself, went through the gate shouting: USA, Fencing!
