Little Johnny meets Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi was visiting a primary school in Tampa and visited a grade four class. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.

The teacher asked Mrs. Pelosi if she would like to lead the discussion on the word ‘tragedy.’ So our illustrious Democrat 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 him over and kills him, that would be a tragedy.”

“No,” said Pelosi , “that would be an accident.”

A little girl raised her hand: “If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone, that would be a tragedy.”

“I’m afraid not,” explained Pelosi .

“That’s what we would call great loss.”

The room went silent. No other child volunteered. Pelosi 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. The teacher held her breath.

In a quiet voice he said: “If the plane carrying you was struck by a ‘friendly fire’ missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy.”

“Fantastic!” exclaimed Pelosi , “That’s right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?”

“Well,” says Johnny, “It has to be a tragedy, because it sure as hell wouldn’t be a great loss … and you can bet your sweet ass it wouldn’t be an accident either!”

The teacher left the room

Someone sent it to me two days ago and I have passed it on to a few people.  I receive a few every week.  I will share them with you if you have interest via your email.   Some are quite funny.  Thanks, dawg!

Share them in this forum if they strike your fancy if you would.

Here's a toast with one last pour, may it last forever and a minute more;
Good fortune seems to you have sung, to live and love way past long

I actually have Bob but no one ever responds.  A few posts ago I sent a comical video (below) under the guise of how tough it was to be a Stanford conservative.  Not one response.  I have sent a few others during the past month and no interest but I will send them to you via email also if you would like.
