Little Johnny and Kevin Rudd

Joke of the Month:

Kevin Rudd was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes.
They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asked Kevin, the saviour of 'working families', if he would like to
lead the discussion on the word 'tragedy'.

So Kevin (the saviour of 'working families' ) asked the class for an example
of a 'tragedy'.A little boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives on
a farm, is playing in the field & a tractor runs over him and kills him, That would
be a 'tragedy. 'No, said Kevin - that would be an accident.'

A little girl raised her hand: 'If a school bus carrying fifty children drove
over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy'I'm afraid not,
explained Kevin - that's what we would call great loss'

The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Kevin 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...In a quiet
voice he said: 'If A plane carrying you and Julia Gillard was struck by a
'friendly fire' missile & blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy.
''Fantastic!' exclaimed Kevin. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that
would be tragedy?''Well,' says little Johnny 'it has to be a tragedy, because it
certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be a fuckin'
accident either!'
