DAVID CAMERON was visiting a Scottish 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 Mr.Cameron if he would like to lead the discussion on

the word 'tragedy'.



So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a

'tragedy'.





A little boy stood up and offered: 'If ma best freen, wha lives on a

fairm, is playin' in the field an' a tractor rins ower him and kills him, that

wid be a 'tragedy.' '

'No', said David - 'that would be an accident.'





A little girl raised her hand: 'If a skale bus kerryin' fufty children drove

ower a cliff, killing a'b'dy inside, that wid be a tragedy'





'I'm afraid not', explained David - 'that's what we would call a

'great loss'' .





The room went silent. No other children volunteered. David searched the

room.



'Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?'



Finally, at the back of the room, wee Johnny raised his hand...



In a quiet voice he said:

that would

be a tragedy?'



'Weel,' says wee Johnny 'it his tae be a tragedy, because it certainly

widnae be a great loss..... and it probably widnae be a f***ing accident either!

I went for a Chinese last night and got chatting to the waiter. He told me he was a kamikaze pilot during the war and his codename was Chowmein.

I said, "Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't you kamikaze pilots supposed to sacrifice your lives for your country?" He said, "Yeah, but I was

Chicken Chowmein."
