A Frenchman, Englishman, American and a Mexican are sitting in a sinking boat... They know that one of them must sacrifice themselves for the sake of the other three. The Frenchman stands and says ""I will do the noble thing. Good bye messieurs, viva la France."" He jumps out and drowns and yet the boat is still sinking. To save the other two, the Englishman goes next. ""Cheers, gents. God save the Queen!"" He jumps out and drowns. But the boat is still sinking. The American and Mexican are left staring at each other for quite some time as the boat continues to sink. Finally, the American stands up, grabs the Mexican and says ""Remember the Alamo!"" and throws him overboard.
