An airliner is crossing the Atlantiv with a full load of passengers. Half of them are boy scouts, coming home from a world scout camporee.
Past the point of no return, the captain steps into the captain, looking very grave. He announces;
"This aircraft has a fuel leak. We will have to go down in the ocean, and you'll all be safer parachuting out. Unfortunately, we are short two parachutes. As captain, I will attempt to pancake the plane on the water and then escape before it sinks. You men will all have to draw straws to see who rides down with me and takes the big risk."
They start sending the women and children out first, and one male passenger is getting more and more nervous. Finally, he bursts through the line and grabs a backpack. As he thrusts his arms through the starps, he yells;
"I am Henry Kissinger, the world's most brilliant diplomat! My survival is vital to world peace! To hell with drawing straws!"
And he jumps out of the plane.
The captain turns to the other passengers in dismay and starts to apologize for letting this happen, when one of the boy scouts interrupts him;
"Don't sweat it, captain. The world's most brilliant diplomat just jumped out of the plane wearing a knapsack full of my dirty laundry!"

We who play and dance are thought mad by they who hear no music.
