Self sacrifice in a crisis.

[Woodznutz]

The airliner had lost an engine over the ocean and the pilot asked for volunteers to jump out of the plane to lighten the load and thus save the other passengers.

A Brit stood up and shouted, "God Save the King" and jumped out.
A Frenchman volunteered declaring, "Vivi LaFrance" and also jumped out.
A tall Texan calmly strolled to the open door and drawled, "Remember the Alamo" and tossed out two Mexicans.
