Bush and definitions - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Crimson and Clover · 02-24-2003, 12:14 PM

President George Bush is visiting an elementary school today 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 class in 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 next door, is playing in the street and a car

comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy." "No," says

Bush, "that would be an ACCIDENT." A little girl raises her hand:

"If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing

everyone involved, that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not,"

explains Mr. President. "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 can give me an example of a tragedy?"

Finally, way in the back of the room, a small boy raises his hand. In a

quiet voice he says, "If Air Force One, carrying Mr. & Mrs. Bush, were

struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, by a terrorist like

Osama bin Laden, that would be a tragedy."

"Fantastic," exclaims Bush, "that's right. 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 wouldn't be a great loss."

While on the subject of jokes...

2 politicians and Mr. Clinton find themselves in the land of Oz (as in "Wizard of Oz").

Says the first politician: "I'm going to see the wizard and ask for a brain."

Says the second politician: "I'm going to see the wizard and ask for a heart."

Says Mr. Clinton: "Where's Dorothy?"
