Wednesday funny.

David Cameron was visiting a primary school in Yorkshire and the class was in the middle of a discussion about words and their meanings.

The teacher asked Mr Cameron if he would like to lead the discussion on the word 'Tragedy'. The prime minister asked the class if they could think of an example of a tragedy.

A little lad stood up and said, 'If my best mate is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy.'
'Incorrect,' said Cameron, 'That would merely be an accident.'

A little lass stood up and said 'If a school bus carrying thirty children drove over a cliff, killing everybody inside, that would be a tragedy.'
'I'm afraid not', said Cameron, 'That's what we would call a great loss'.

The room went silent. No other kid volunteered. Cameron searched the room.


'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'

Finally, a little lad raised his hand from the back of the class and said, 'If a plane carrying you and all the M.P.s was hit by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy.'

'Fantastic!' exclaimed Cameron, 'And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?'

'Well,' said the little lad, 'It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss, and it probably wouldn't be a fcuking accident either!

I am sure I have heard that before.... but with different people and words.

Tis an old one Dom but my kind of humour, clever but not crude.
