Bill Clinton is in an elementary class and is trying to teach the students what a tragedy is.
He asks if anyone knows. One kid stands up and says, "I know. If I was in the street and got hit by a car, that would be a tragedy."
Clinton says, "No son, that would be an accident."
Another kid stands up and says, "I know. If we all were on a field trip and the bus went flying over a cliff, that would be a tragedy."
Again, Clinton says, "No son, that would be a great loss."
The children are silent and then one kid stands and says, "If you and Mrs. Clinton were on Air Force One and it just all of a sudden blew up and you both died, that would be a tragedy."
Clinton thinks and then asks, "Now why would you think that is a tragedy?"
The kid replies, "Well, because it definately wouldn't be an ACcident. and it sure as hell wouldn't be a Great Loss!!!"
