Little Johnny is at it again!
Funny email I received today!
Little Johnny is at it again.........
Presidential candidate, Barack Obama was visiting a primary school
andhe visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a
discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the
presidential candidate if he would like to lead the discussion on the
word 'tragedy'.? So our illustrious democrat presidential candidate
asked the class for an example of a 'tragedy'.
One little boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives ona farm, is playing in the
field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a
tragedy?' 'No,' said Obama, '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 Obama. 'That's what we would call great
loss.' The room went silent. No other children volunteered.
Obama searched the room.'Isn't there someone here who can give me an
example of a tragedy?'
Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. In a
quiet voice he said: 'If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Obama was
struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens that
would be a tragedy.' 'Fantastic!' exclaimed Obama. 'That's right. And
can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?' 'Well,' says the boy,
'It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great
loss... and it probably wouldn't be an accident, either!'
