Bush joke

[RedM]

President Bush was visiting a primary school and he sat in on one 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 illustrious 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 and Mr 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 a small boy 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 us why

that would be a tragedy?"

 

"Well," says the boy, "It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly

wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be a f*cking

accident either!"
