Joke - What is a tragedy?

Tragedy:
While President G.W. Bush was visiting a primary school 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 f*cking accident either.'

Here is my two pennies on this joke -

It's Absolutely true I am afraid.
He was probably the clever English Exchange Student who's tank commander father was shot at by friendly U.S fire in the first gulf war!

Have I told you how much I abhor G.W Bush and what he stands for? Probably, but here is some more if you weren't paying attention.

Now we get a pussy like Obama or a forces nutter like McCain who will carry on imposing the American Foreign Policy on us.
Yep, they do have one, subject to the rest of the worlds belief - to shoot and bomb anyone who doesn't like the USA - so that would be anyone who isn't a middle class American then!

We had better watch out in the UK then, as it's only Tony and Cherie Blair, "Bush's Poodles" that do like them. The trouble is the Blair's aren't quite finished milking the UK for more money before they fuc~ off to U.S shores.

It seems they have 27? houses now and a US led mortgage crisis created by greedy bankers to deal with!

We probably have another years worth of Cherie's mindless 2nd autobiography, and many more of his crappy after dinner speeches at £100,000.00 per speech before they piss off to the Cult of America.

Yep it seems to be a cult.
They seem to brainwash and bamboozle the world.
I am sure if I came out and blatantly set up a cult, it would be illegal. The good ol' U.S. of A have a whole country of idiots, of whom 70% don't have a passport to see the world outside it's own borders, and where 70 % live within 10 miles of where they were born and grew up.

Illegal immigrants from Mexico, and the like, still want to live there - utterly amazing!
