The Prime Minister, GORDON BROWN 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. Brown 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 Gordon - '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 Gordon - 'that's what we would call a  
'great loss'' .

The room went silent. No other children volunteered.. Gordon 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:

'If a plane kerryin' you and the Chancellor, Mr. Darlin', wis struck  
by a 'freendly fire' missile & blawn tae smithereens, that wid be a  
tragedy.'

'Fantastic!' exclaimed Gordon. 'That's right. And can you tell me why  
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!
