Joke of the Day :)
George Bush was visiting a primary school and he visited one of theclasses.They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and theirmeanings.The teacher asked the President if he would like to lead thediscussionon the word "tragedy". So the illustrious leader asked the class foranexample of a "tragedy".One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on afarm, 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 childrendrove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.""I'm afraid not," explained the president. "That's what we would call agreat loss."The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Bush searched theroom "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of atragedy?"Finally at the back of the room a small boy raised his hand. In aquietvoice he said: "If 'Air Force One' carrying you and Mrs. Bush wasstruckby a "friendly fire" missile and blown to smithereens, that would be atragedy." "Fantastic!" exclaimed Bush. "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?" "Well," said the boy, "It has to be atragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss, and it probablywouldn'tbe a fucking accident either!"
