Politician visits a primary school
A politician visits a primary school to speak to the children…
During class, he asks the students if anyone can give him an example of a ‘tragedy’.
Kevin raises his hand first and offers, “If my best friend is playing in the street and a car comes by and kills him, that would be a tragedy.”
“No,” the politician says, “That would be an ‘ACCIDENT’.”
Next, Marcy raises her hand…
“If a school bus carrying fifty children drove off a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.”
“I’m afraid not,” explains the politician, “That is what we would call a ‘GREAT LOSS’.”
The room is silent, none of the other children dare volunteer…
“What?” asks the politician, “Isn’t there anyone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”
Finally Little Johnny raises his hand…
“If an airplane carrying a politician was blown up by a bomb, *that* would be a tragedy.”
“Marvellous!” the politician beams, “And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?”
“Well,” says Johnny…
“Because it wouldn’t be an ‘ACCIDENT’, and it certainly would be no ‘GREAT LOSS’!”To grow old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
