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

The teacher asked both men if they would like to lead the class in a discussion of the word "tragedy". So the Rev. Jackson asked the class for an example

of a "tragedy".

One little boy stood up and said, "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in a field, and a runaway tractor runs him over, and he is killed,

that would be a tragedy."

No," said the Rev. Jesse, "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 the Rev. Al. "That's what we would call a great loss."

The room went silent. No other children volunteered.

Then the Rev. Al said to the pupils, "Can one of you give me an example of a tragedy?"

Little Johnny raised his hand, and said, "If a plane carrying the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton were struck by a missile, and blown to smithereens,

that would be a tragedy."

"Fantastic!" exclaimed Jackson and Sharpton simultaneously. "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."
