George Bush visits school

[tim1950]

George W. Bush is visiting a primary school and he visits one of the classes.
They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and
their meanings. The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the
discussion of the word, "tragedy." So the illustrious leader asks the class
for an example of a tragedy. One little boy stands up and offers:
"If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and
a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a
tragedy." No," says President Bush, "that would be an accident
." A little girl raises 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," explains the exalted leader. "That's what we would
call a great loss." The room goes silent. No other children volunteer.
President Bush searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who ca n
give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally at the back of the room,
little Johnny raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says: "If Air Force One
carrying you was struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would
be a tragedy." "Fantastic!" exclaims President Bush, "That's right. And can
you tell me why that would be tragedy?" "Well," says the boy, "because
it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be an accident either."
