Apollyon - Grammar Fascist Started conversation Jan 16, 2005
George Bush payed some sort of visit to a school to show the kids that he was not an evil bastard as all the newspapers were calling him. Anyway, when he got there, he decided to talk to the children about 'tragedy.'
Bush: "Can anyone tell me what a tragedy is?"
Little Johnny: "I know, Mr. President! A tragedy would be if my best friend was run over by a car and killed."
Bush: "No, that would be an accident. Anyone else?"
Little Mary: "Mr. President, I think it would be a tragedy if a school bus full of kids went off a cliff and they all died."
Bush: "No, that would be a great loss."
Little Chris: "Ooo, ohh, pick me! I know, I know! A tragedy would be if you and Mrs. President were flying on Air Force One, but it was hit by a missile and you both were killed!"
Bush: "Why yes, exactly! That would be a great tragedy. Now can you tell the other boys and girls why it would be such a tragedy?"
Chris: "Because it wouldn't be an accident or a great loss."
