How Tragic

George Bush is visiting a school. In one class, he asks the
students if anyone can give him an example of a 'TRAGEDY'. One
little boy stands up and offers, 'If my best friend who lives
next door was playing in the street when a car came along and
killed him, that would be a TRAGEDY.' 'No,' Bush says, 'That
would be an ACCIDENT.'

A girl raises her hand. 'If a school bus carrying fifty children
drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved... that would be a
TRAGEDY.' I'm afraid not,' explains Bush. 'That is what we
would call a GREAT LOSS.' The room is silent; none of the other
children volunteer. 'What?' asks Bush. 'Isn't there any one
here who can give me an example of a TRAGEDY?'

Finally, a boy in the back raises his hand. In a timid voice, he
speaks: 'If an airplane carrying George Bush were
blown up by a bomb, that would be a TRAGEDY.' 'Wonderful!'
Bush beams. 'Marvelous! And can you tell me WHY that would be
a TRAGEDY?'

'Well,' says the boy, 'because it wouldn't be an ACCIDENT, and
it certainly would be no GREAT LOSS!'
