Bush joke

President George W. Bush visits a primary school classroom. 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 discussion on 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 on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs him over and kills him 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 over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.'"

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

The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. 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, the infamous Little Johnny 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 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."

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

I've told that joke at least 30 times when clinton was in office. Still seems funnier then. Anyone familier with Vince Foster will get this clinton joke:

hell-ary clinton is talking to a 4th grade class in upstate New York. After her talk she open the floor to questions. One little boy raises his hand.

hell-ary: "Yes, and what is your name?"

"Larry"

"And what's your question Larry?"

"I have 3 questions;

1) Why would want to be President when your husband shamed the office?

2) What happened to all the missing property when you left the White House?

3) And what happened to your National Medical Program?"

Just then the bell rings and hell-ary says they will pick-up when they get back. After recess the class comes back in and hell-ary says;

"Where were we?" "Oh, that's right, questions from the class. Anyone have one?" A little boy raises his hand.

"Yes, and what is your name?"

"Billy"

"Yes Billy, go ahead."

"I have 5 questions;

1) Why would want to be President when your husband shamed the office?

2) What happened to all the missing property when you left the White House?

3) What happened to your National Medical Program?

4) Why did the bell ring 20 minutes early?

5) And where is Larry?"
