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 Reverend Jackson if he would like to lead the class discussion of 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 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 Reverend 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 wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident either".

This isn't political but it's funny: WARNING FROM MIDDLE EAST This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan: Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, warned the United States that if Military action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's supply of convenience store managers. If this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell and AOL customer service reps, then Motel 6 managers. It's getting ugly. Just a note. I am not racist or anything like that, I just found it humorous.

A tragety would be listening to him flap his jibbs for any time longer than 30 seconds.
