Jumping out of a plane !

An Englishman, Frenchman, Mexican, and Texan were flying across country on a small plane when the pilot comes on the loud speaker and says
"We're having mechanical problems and the only way we can make it to the next airport is for 3 of you to open the door and jump, at least one of you can survive"

The four open the door and look out below.

The Englishman takes a deep breath and hollers "God Save The Queen" and jumps.

The Frenchman gets really inspired and hollers "Vive La France" and he also jumps.

This really pumps up the Texan so he hollers "Remember the Alamo" and he grabs the Mexican and throws him out of the plane.

PS : Funny, despite being politically incorrect !

hello Krystyna I don't really know what does "pump up" mean ? Thank you for explaining.

Hi Muriel,

Literally, pump up is gonfler ... you pump up a tyre.

But in slang, pump up means to become very excited, or inspired about something.
