of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to
words
and their meanings.
The teacher asked the President if he would like to lead the discussion
on the word "tragedy". So the ilustrious leader asked the class for an
example of a "tragedy".
One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a
farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him
that would be a tragedy".
"No said Bush, " that would be an accident".
A little girl raised her hand: "if a school bus carrying 50 children
drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy".
"I'm afraid not," explained the president. "that's what we would Call a
great loss."
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Bush searched the
room.
"Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a "tragedy"?
Finally at the back of the room little Johnnie raised his hand. In a
quiet voice he said: "If Air Force One carrying you and Mrs bush was
struck by a "friendly fire" missile and blown to smithereens that would
be a tragedy".
"Fantastic!" exclaimed Bush. "That's right. And can you tell me why
that would be a tragedy?"
"Well," says little Johnnie, "It has to be a tragedy, because it
certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be a
fucking accident either."
some may hate but its just a joke!
