Hope this won't upset any of the Presidents supporters [ are there any? ] but I thought it so funny that I just had to share it. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- President Bush was visiting a primary school. One of the classes was 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 him over 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 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 Mr. 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 a 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."

![](http://storage.proboards.com/893671/images/cReSUhsLeHumtKTZqZVB.gif) It's not as good as Katina's, but here's one: George W. Bush is accidently near some commoners one day and overhears one complaining about the economy, how hard it is to make ends meet. Bush interrupts the commoner and tells him that he has created many jobs. The man says, "Yes, I know... I have 3 of them".

Thanks. ![](http://gigbitchgraphics.homestead.com/files/emoticons/toothy.gif) I don't remember where I found it. ![](http://gigbitchgraphics.homestead.com/files/emoticons/lmao.gif) On election day, I decided to stand outside holding a Kerry sign in this highly Republican area I live in. Someone yelled at me, "Get a job!" Remembering the joke, I yelled back, "I've got two!" I know the joke says three, but I really only have two... if you count building a website every 6 months as a job. ![](http://storage.proboards.com/893671/images/yU0LKIKPFBeRI0zKYlPp.gif)
