Hit me again!
Bill Clinton is visiting a school. In one class, he asks the students if
anyone can give him an example of a "tragedy".
One little boy stands up and offers "If my best friend who lives next
door was playing in the street when a car came along and killed
him, that would be a tragedy."
"No," Clinton says, "That would be an ACCIDENT."
A girl raises her hand. "If a school bus carrying fifty children drove
off a cliff, killing everyone involved... that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explains Clinton. "That is what we would call a GREAT
LOSS."
The room is silent; none of the other children volunteer.
"What?" asks Clinton, "Isn't there any one here who can give me an
example of a tragedy?"
Finally, a boy in the back raises his hand. In a timid voice, he says:
"If an airplane carrying Bill & Hillary Clinton were blown up by a bomb,
THAT would be a tragedy."
"Wonderful!" Clinton beams. "Marvelous! 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 would be no great loss.
