No,' said Obama, 'that would be an accident.' * * Sara 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 Obama. *'That's what we would call great loss.' * * The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Obama searched the room. 'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?' * * Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: 'If the plane *carrying you and Mrs. Obama was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to *smithereens that would be a tragedy.' * * 'Fantastic!' exclaimed Obama. 'That's right! And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?' * * Well,' says the boy, 'It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss....and it probably wouldn't be an accident either.' -- John H Forwarded to Home Security....................- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - What is "Home Security" dumb ass? |
