Courtesy of my siblings, who have told me these jokes multiple times, so they must be funny:

Obama, Clinton, and McCain are in an airplane. Obama says, "I can throw a $100 bill out the window and make a person very happy!" Clinton says, "I can do better than that! I can throw 10 $100 bills out the window and make ten people very happy!" McCain says, "So what? I can throw 100 $100 bills out the window and make 100 people very happy!" The pilot turns around and says, " I can throw three people out the window and make 365 million people very happy."

President Bush, Hilary Clinton, and a schoolgirl are in an airplane. The pilot tells them that the plane will crash and they should grab a parachute- but there are only 2 parachutes. Clinton says, "I'm the smartest woman in the world. Everyone needs me." She takes a parachute and jumps out. Bush says, "I'm already older. You have your whole future ahead of you. Take the last parachute." The little girl says, "That's okay. The smartest woman in the world just took my briefcase."

Sigh... airplane jokes..

I heard this joke 20 years ago in communist Poland and the person jumping with a briefcase (or a fire extinguisher) was a Russian. I find it fascinating how those things travel in space and time.

That's interesting because for some reason it's usually the Polish passenger.

This joke was told about Bill Gates, Henry Kissinger (perhaps 30 years ago), and probably was told about someone else before that.

Then there are the versions with the talis bag.....
