    The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, while visiting a
    primary school class, found themselves in the middle of a discussion
    related to words and their meanings.

    The teacher asked both men if they would like to lead the
    discussion of the word "tragedy". So the illustrious Rev Jackson asks
    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 runaway tractor comes
    along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy."

    No," says the Great Jesse Jackson, "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," explains the exalted Reverend Al. "That's what
    we would call a great loss." The room goes silent. No other children
    volunteer. Reverend Al searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who
    can give mean example of a tragedy?"

    Finally at the back of the room little Johnny raises his hand.
    In a stern voice he says: "If a plane carrying the Reverends Jackson and
    Sharpton were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens that would be
    a tragedy."

    "Fantastic!" exclaims Jackson and Sharpton, "That's right. And
    can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"

    "Well," says little Johnny, "because it sure as hell wouldn't be
    a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident either."
