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 says "If my friend is playing in the street when a car came by 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 inside...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 dare volunteer.
"What?" asks Clinton, "Isn't there anyone 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 and Hillary Clinton was 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 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 says "If my friend is playing in the street when a car came by and killed him, 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!"

Sorry guys! I have NO Idea what happened with the double posting, but I swear it didn't look like this is the "preview" box. Crazy Ya*hoo!
I'd delete it but some of you were kind enough to keep reading and figure it out so someone deserves a best answer for that at least! lol

Funny. Ha Ha ;) Did you see Oprah when she hosted Bill Clinton and he was going to donate a large sum of money to a girl who was working on a project for poor African children?
I know he is trying to do good in the world, but I can't understand how he can rise out of such a scandal as he was in and act like nothing had happened.
