[Desi Masala] tragedy

Gordon Brown was visiting a primary school and he looked in on one of the
classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their
meanings. The teacher asked Mr Brown if he would like to lead the discussion
on the word 'tragedy'.

Thus the illustrious leader 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 Gordon - 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 Gordon - that's what we would call great loss'

The room went silent. No other children volunteered.

Gordon searched the room. 'Isn't there anyone here who can give me an
example of a tragedy?'

Finally, at the back of the room, little Jeremy raised his hand . . . .

In a quiet voice he said: 'If a plane carrying you and Mr Darling to
Afghanistan or Iraq was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile & blown to
smithereens, that would be a tragedy.'

'Fantastic!' exclaimed Gordon. 'That's right. And can you tell me why that
would be tragedy?'

'Well,' says little Jeremy 'it has to be a tragedy, because it certainly
wouldn't be a great loss and it wouldn't be a f*cking accident either!'

If you can't be a pencil to write anyone's happiness, try at least to be a
nice rubber to erase everyone's sorrows…………

When I was born I was given a choice of either being a brilliant lover or
having an amazing memory, unfortunately I forgot which one I chose.

I used to scintillate - now I sin 'til just half past three

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
