Former President Bill Clinton is visiting an elementary school today and he
visits, one of the 4th grade 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 our ex-President asks the class for an example of the word "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 Clinton, "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 Clinton. "That's what we would call a GREAT LOSS."

The room goes silent. No other children volunteer.

Former President Clinton 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, Little Johnny raises his hand. In a
quiet voice he says, "If Air Force One, carrying Mr. & Mrs. Clinton, was
struck by a missile and blown to pieces, that would be a tragedy.?"
"Fantastic", exclaims Mr. Clinton, "that's right. And can you tell me WHY
that would be a tragedy?"

"Well," Little Johnny said, "because it wouldn't be an accident,
and it damn sure wouldn't be a great loss."
