Tragedy Defined
Jesse Jackson, while visiting a primary school class, found himself
in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The
teacher asks the Rev. Jackson if he would like to lead
the discussion on the word "tragedy."
So the illustrious leader asks 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 runaway
tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy.?
"No," says the Great Jesse Jackson, "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," explains the exalted spiritual leader. "That's
what we would call a ! great loss."
The room goes silent. No other children volunteer.
Rev. Jackson 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 a plane carrying the Rev. Jackson were struck
by a missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic!" exclaims Jackson, "That's right. And can
you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"
"Well," says the boy, "because it sure as hell
wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident either."

"Where have you been?" demands the Fairy Godmother. "Your diaphragm was supposed to turn into a pumpkin three hours ago!!!"
" I met a prince, Fairy Godmother. He took care of everything."
The Fairy Godmother stated, "I know of no prince with that kind of power! Tell me his name!"
Cinderella replied, I can't remember, exactly,
Peter, Peter, something or other..."

One day, JANE met TARZAN in the jungle. She was very attracted to him and during her questions about his life she asked him how he engaged in sex.
"What's that?" he asked.
She explained to him what sex ! was and he said, "Oh, I use a hole in the trunk of a tree."
Horrified, she said, " Tarzan, you have it all wrong but I will show you how to do it properly." She took off her clothes, lay down on the ground and spread her legs. "Here," she said, "you must put it in here."
Tarzan removed his loincloth, stepped closer and then gave her an almighty kick in the crotch. Jane rolled around in agony. Eventually she managed to gasp, "What the hell did you do that for?"
"Just checking for bees," said Tarzan
