NOW you cannot choose YOUR president, but you may laugh.

Tragedy.

John Kerry visits a school classroom. They are in the middle of a discussion
related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks Mr. Kerry if he would
like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy." So the illustrious Senator
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 Kerry, "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 Mr. Kerry. "That's what we would call a 'great
loss'."

The room goes silent. No other children volunteered. Kerry 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 your campaign plane, carrying you, Mr. Kerry,
were struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens, that
would be a 'tragedy'."

"Fantastic!" exclaims Kerry. "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.
