Another *shrub joke for you

I received this joke in my e-mail today.....

=======DEFINING TRAGEDY=======
President Bush was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the
classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and
their meanings. The teacher asked the President if he would like to
lead
the discussion on the word "tragedy". So the illustrious leader asked
the
class for an example of a "tragedy".
One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a
farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills
him,
that would be a tragedy." "No," said Bush, "that would be an accident."
A little girl raised 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," explained the president. "That's what we would call a
great loss."
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Bush searched 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 raised his hand. In a quiet
voice he said: "If Air Force One carrying you and Mrs. Bush was struck
by
a "friendly fire" missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a
tragedy."
Fantastic!" exclaimed Bush. "That's right. And can you tell me why that
would be tragedy?"
"Well," says the boy, "It has to be a tragedy, because it sure as heck
wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be an accident
either."

because of its subject matter.I was also told it was not funny to post such a thing as it wasn't respectful of the presidency. I removed it but I still think it as funny as hell. Good for you for posting it! Tee1 hee! Proves you can't keep a good joke down!

Thanks for your comments-and your tee hee.
I'm sure there are many "disrespectful" Senator Kerry jokes out there, too. Anyone can feel free to change the characters...it's a joke-and it IS funny.

Seems I wasn't to infer a bad fate to a sitting pres!

Q: George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove are on a sinking lifeboat, who gets saved?

A: The American people.

I'll have to pass them on
