What's the difference between a cow and a tragedy?
A scouser wouldn't know how to milk a cow. |  |
Tony Blair was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes.
They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asked the Prime Minister 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 & a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a 'tragedy'".
"No," said Blair, "that would be an accident."
A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying fifty children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explained the Prime Minister, "that's what we would call a great loss."
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Tony 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 the air plane carrying you and Mrs Blair was struck by a "friendly fire" missile & blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic!" exclaimed Tony Blair. "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 a fucking accident either! |  |

David beckham is in a school and he goes into one classroom and says now kids can anyone tell me what a tragedy would be.
One boy sticks his hand up and says "If my friend was playing football in the street and got run over by a car that would be a tragedy".
"No", says beckham "That would be described as an accident.
So a girl puts her hand up and says "If a bus carrying about 50 children fell of a cliff and every child died that would be a tragedy".
"Fraid not". says Beckham "That would be a great loss".
So then silence, no-one answers.
"What", says Beckham "Can't anyone tell me what a tragedy would be".
Eventually little Johnny at the back puts his hand up and says, "If a plane carrying David Beckham was blown up by a bomb that would be a tragedy".
"Wonderful", beams Beckham and he says "Now can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"
The boy replies, "Well it would not be an accident and it certainly would not be a great loss" |  |
