Example of a Tragedy -------------------- Saddam Hussein is visiting a school. In one class, he asks the students if anyone can give him an example of a "tragedy". One little boy stands up and offers that "If my best friend who lives next door was playing in the street when a car came along and killed him, that would be a tragedy." "No," Hussein says, "That would be an ACCIDENT." A girl raises her hand. "If a school bus carrying fifty Iraqi children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved. that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not," explains Hussein. "That is what we would call a GREAT LOSS." The room is silent; none of the other children volunteer. "What?" asks Hussein, "Isn't there any one here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally, a boy in the back raises his hand. In a timid voice, he speaks: "If an airplane carrying Yasser Arafat, Colonel Gaddafi, and Saddam Hussein were blown up by a bomb, *that* would be a tragedy." "Wonderful!" Hussein 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!" --------------------------------------------------------------------- Zomola's Website : http://www.humorplein.nl 15 new funny movies (MPG), a.o.
