cvfd1399 0 #1 October 1, 2004 If you have already seen it leave now I don't care to hear about it I thought it was funny to those that have yet to read it. John Kerry visits a primary school and sits in on one of the classes, which is in the middle of a discussion on words and their meaning. The teacher asks Mr. Kerry if he would like to lead the discussion of the word "tragedy." So, the illustrious senator asks the class for an example of a "tragedy." One little boy stands up and offers: "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." "That's wrong," Kerry shouts. "That would be considered an accident." A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy." "You are completely incorrect," shouts the senator. "That would be what we would consider a great loss." The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. Kerry searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally, at the back of the room, a small boy raises his hand. In a quiet voice, he says, "If a plane carrying the Senator John Kerry were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy." "Fantastic!" exclaims Kerry. "You are absolutely right. Can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?" "Well," says the boy, "because it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be an accident!"

Zenister 0 #7 October 2, 2004 Quote I'm good at realtime substitutions. and apparently so are plagiarist jokesters... why do the same tired jokes come up every election with new subjects..... It was funny the first time, when it was Carter iirc... after that it simply shows a lack of original thought....____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Zenister 0 #9 October 2, 2004 most people dont laugh at the same joke when its repeated for the 50th time, even if you change the name of the subject..... but i guess if your memory is only a week long lots of things are funny again and again... bet you can hide your own easter eggs too ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

TomAiello 26 #13 October 2, 2004 Zenister, Tunaplanet, What's the point of a string of short posts just taking jabs at each other? Maybe you ought to consider taking those kinds of shouting matches somewhere private. Or better yet not having them at all.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScrdofHites 0 #14 October 2, 2004 Quotethe internet did not exist when it was applied to Carter... some people pay more attention to the world around them... No, some people were born during Carter's administration... like myself. I think it's hilarious!
