Someone just sent me this great Bush joke!
Defining Tragedy

President Bush visits a primary school classroom. They are in the
middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher
asks President Bush if he would like to lead the discussion of the word
'tragedy'. So the president 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 tractor runs him over and kills him,
that would be a 'tragedy'."

"No," says President Bush, "that would be 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."

"I'm afraid not," explains President Bush. "That's what we would call a
'great loss'."

The room goes silent. No other children volunteered. 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 small boy raises his hand. In a
quiet voice, he says: "If Air Force One carrying you, Mr. President,
were struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens, that
would be a 'tragedy'."

"Fantastic!" exclaims President Bush. "That's right. And can you tell
me why that would be a 'tragedy'?"

"Well," says the boy, "because it certainly wouldn't be a 'great loss',
and it probably wouldn't be an 'accident' either."
