Bush Bashin'

[Boozy the clown]

President Bush was visiting a primary school and he visited 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. 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 me why
that would be a tragedy?" "Well," said the boy, "It has to be a
tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it
probably wouldn't be a
^%$&*(( accident either".
