Mountain Climbing Joke A politician, 3 doctors, and 3 engineers decided to climb Mt. Everest. They arrive there and started the long way up the tallest climb on Earth. It's a grueling climb and they have to stop many times to rest and pull each other up. Half way into the climb, the rope starts to break. The doctors say they should all hang on and wait for help. No one believes help will arrive on time. The engineers, with their quick physics skills, tell everyone "One of us has to jump or else we all die!" No one wanted to jump. Everyone held on to the rope tightly. Then, the politician let out a sigh. "You people are all valuable resources for the country. A doctor can save so many lives. An engineer can build so many innovative things. But what am I? A useless politician. What do I do for society? Nothing. I just give speeches and that's it." He gives out a very heartfelt sigh. The others were so touched they all started clapping for the politician.
