Bill Clinton is visiting a school. In one class, he asks the students if anyone can give him an example of a "tragedy".
One little boy stands up and offers, "If my best friend who lives next door was playing in the street when a car came along and killed him, that would be a tragedy."
"No," Clinton says, "That would be an ACCIDENT."
A girl raises her hand. "If a school bus carrying fifty children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved... that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explains Clinton. "That is what we
would call a GREAT LOSS."
The room is silent; none of the other children volunteer.
"What?" asks Clinton. "Isn't there any one here who can
give me an example of a tragedy?"
Finally, a boy in the back raises his hand. In a timid
voice, he says: "If an airplane carrying Bill & Hillary
Clinton were blown up by a bomb, THAT would be a tragedy."
"Wonderful!" Clinton beams. "Marvelous! And can you tell
me WHY that would be a tragedy?"
"Well," says the boy, "because it wouldn't be an accident,
and it certainly would be no great loss!"
