A British man, a Frenchman, a Mexican, and an American are flying in a small plane oven an ocean.

...And in the middle of their flight, the pilot announces that the plane is losing fuel to a leak, and all unnecessary luggage must be thrown from the plane.

Despite this effort, the fuel leak worsens, and the pilot realizes the plane cannot reach land with its current weight.

He tells his passengers that one of them must bail out to save the others.

The Frenchman volunteers, and declares as he jumps:
"The French are the most compassionate in the world, for France!"

Unfortunately his sacrifice proves worthless, as the situation worsens. The pilot determines that two of the remaining men must jump to save his fellow man.

The British man steps forward, mumbling something under his breath about, "being beaten by a Frenchman."

"On behalf of all English, I make this sacrifice." He says, "For the Queen!" He shouts, and leaps from the plane, visibly shaking the hull.

Now only the Mexican and American remain. They stare at one another until the American speaks.

"I think I know what to do." He steps towards the now-open plane door and gazes at the water far below him.

At the last second, the American whips around and grasps the Mexican by his wrist, twisting the poor man to the edge of the door, and hurls him out.

Over the almost inaudible Spanish coming from the descending Mexican , the American yells;

"**Remember the Alamo!**"
