TRAGEDY
TRAGEDY
BUSH visits a primary school and sits in on one of the classes,
which is in the middle of a discussion on words and their meaning.
The teacher asks Mr. BUSH 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."
"That's wrong," BUSH shouts. "That would be considered 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."
"You are completely incorrect" shouts the President. "That would be what
we would consider a great loss."
The room goes silent -- no other children volunteer.
BUSH searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an
example of a tragedy?"
Finally at the back of the room a little Ernie raises his hand.
In a quiet voice he says -- "If a plane carrying the PRESIDENT BUSH
were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a
tragedy."
"Fantastic!" exclaims BUSH. "You are absolutely right. "Can you tell me
why that would be a tragedy?"
"Well", says the boy, "because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss,
and it probably wouldn't be an accident!"

Jonny hears something from his mum and dads bedroom one night, he goes into the room to find his mum and dad banging away. His dad tells him that if he don't tell anyone about what he has seen then he will buy him a watch.
two days later Jonny is showing his best mate this quality new watch, billy says how did you get that? Jonny explains that he caught his mum and dad at it.
That night Billy waits up till his mum and dad come to bed, waiting till he hears them busy he brusts into the room " Dad mum ! if I dont tell anyone can I have a watch? " Dad replys " No problem son take a seat "
