Little Johnny and Barack Obama

Presidential candidate Barack Obama 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 presidential candidate if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy'. So our illustrious democratic presidential candidate 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 over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy.'

'No,' said Obama, '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 Obama. 'That's what we would call great loss.'

The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Obama searched the room. 'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'

Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: 'If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Obama was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy.'

'Fantastic!' exclaimed Obama. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that would be 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 freaking accident either.'

That is great!!!

very good joke!!

very good joke!!
I got one, Big John died and went to heaven, when he showed up he saw Peter and behind Peter were a bunch of clocks. John asks Peter, whats the story with the clocks. Peter said, those are the clocks of all the people on earth, each clock represents a person. John says "ok?" Peter says everytime someone lies, the hands move. See Saint Teresa's her hands on the clock have never moved, meaning she never told a lie. See George Washington's his has moved twice meaning he told two lies. John say ok i get it,,,, WHere is Barack Obama's i dont see it. Petere responded, that is because it is in Jesus's office, he is using it for a ceiling fan,,,,, thank you im here all week
