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,' said the boy, 'It has to be a
tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss, and it
probably wouldn't be a accident either!'

Thanks for the early morning laugh.....here is one for you in return.
Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing.
He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq".
"OH NO!", the President exclaims. "That's terrible".
His staff sit stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands, rocking backwards and forwards.
Finally the President looks up and asks...
"How many is a brazillion?"
