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."
