Although there were six people, there were only five parachutes. The communist said, "I need to rule a country," grabs a parachute, and jumps off. Then the director says, "I need to direct a movie!" and gets a parachute and jumps off. Then the teacher claimed, "I need to teach a class," and jumps off with a parachute.

A RECIPE FOR ELEPHANT STEW
1 medium sized elephant 2 rabbits (optional) salt and pepper to taste brown gravy (lots)

Cut elephant in small bite-size pieces. This will take about two months. Reserve the trunk (you will need something to store pieces in). Add enough brown gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene fire for about four weeks at 465 degrees. This will serve about 3,800 people. If more are expected, the two rabbits may be added. Do this only if necessary, as most people do not like to find hare in their stew.
