Definition of Tragedy
 
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 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 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."

One of the Best laughs I've had in the past couple of weeks. Especially considering some of the stunts Mr. Jackson has pulled in our town.

I like Mel Brooks' definition:

Tragedy is when I stub my toe.
Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.

JIA- you racist, commie bastard, if you kill off the good reverends, who will all the whiney, self centered, ego over inflated, wanna be politicians, (aka celebritys) go to to confess their sins to when they offend a religious, or racial, or political group?:lol::lol:"thumbsup"

Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton were here in town for James Brown's funeral ceremony...

Earlier in the day they had arrived at the arena, but just prior to the big to-do they decided to head back to the hotel to "freshen up".

James Brown's family had to stand outside the arena (with everyone else) and wait for Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton to make their entrance.

That's right, those two *** clowns managed to upstage the family of the deceased.

For several folks in attendance the James Brown funeral was more of an opportunity to say "look at me" than to pay respect.

Those two clowns are a disgrace. :roll:
