Found this on Serenity Browncoats. Made me laugh.

President George Bush was visiting an elementary school today and he visited
one of the classes. The students are in the middle of a discussion related to words
and their meanings.

The teacher asked the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion
of the word, "tragedy." So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a
"tragedy."

One little boy stands up and offers, "If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing
in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy."

"No," says Bush, "that would be an ACCIDENT."

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

"I'm afraid not," explains Mr. President. "That's what we would call a GREAT LOSS."

The room goes silent. No other children volunteered.

President Bush searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an
example of a tragedy?"

Finally, way in the back of the room, a small boy raises his hand. In a quiet voice he
says, "If Air Force One, carrying Mr. Bush, was struck by a missile and blown up to
smithereens, by a terrorist like Osama bin Laden, that would be a tragedy."

"Fantastic," exclaims Bush, "that's right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a
TRAGEDY?"

"Well," says the boy, "because it wouldn't be an accident, and it certainly wouldn't be
a great loss."


Don't say this ain't funny now....

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.


I remember hearing this one a couple years ago (a version of it, anyway).
Yep, still funny!

George Bush goes to a primary school to talk to the kids to get a little PR. After his talk he offers question time.

One little boy puts up his hand and George asks him his name.

"Stanley," responds the little boy.

"And what is your question, Stanley?"

"I have 4 questions:
First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN?
Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes?
Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?"
Fourth, why are we so worried about gay-marriage when 1/2 of all Americans don't have health insurance?

Just then, the bell rings for recess. George
Bush informs the kiddies that they will continue
after recess.

When they resume George says, "OK, where were we? Oh, that's right, question time. Who has a question?"

Another little boy puts up his hand. George points
him out and asks him his name.

"Little Johnnie" he responds.

"And what is your question, Little Johnnie?"

"Actually Sir, I have 6 questions:
First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN?
Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes?
Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?
Fourth, why are we so worried about gay marriage when 1/2 of all Americans don't have health insurance?
Fifth, why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes
early?
And sixth, what the F*#K happened to Stanley?"

That's not funny,Citizen.
Stanley was a person, he had feelings, and a family.

I thought Iowa was fictional?
I think that those inhuman people from the UP of Mich (we call them Euppers) stole him away. That place scares me. 5 miles over a bridge into banjo music playing, Deleverance! Give me the willys just thinking about it!

I have crossed the bridge a few times and I am convinced that the UP is in another dimension. How else could that bridge stay up in that wind?

Back to topic. Good jokes.
poor, poor Stanley.

You were busy trying to get yourself lit on fire. It happens.


I thought Stanley was flat, and he got mailed places. That would explain his disappearance, yes?

Hey Stanley is in Florida! That is where I was asked to return him to!

The US didn't invade Iraq w/ out the suppport of the U.N. The U.N. specifically pointed out in the various resolutions that if Iraq did not comply, it could face military action. It didn't comply, and so military action was called for.

Because we live in a Representitive Republic, and not a mob driven democracy.

OBL got real hurt and can now, seemingly, only give audio tapes where as before he showed up video. This bad man will be tracked down, eventaully.

Gay marriage is an attempt by a few radicals who want to blur the lines of civilization which have been in tact for 1000's of years. What this has to do w/ Americans not having any healthcare is beyond me, but that figure is far less than "1/2" , as you claim.



People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

The bell went off 20 minutes early, so you children can play a game of kick - ball that no team could win, we no longer keep score.

Stanley had to go home early. One of his two MOMMYs got sick.

While I often think of you as a fictional child from the internet, i was actually responding ( not arguing ) to the faulty logic of said joke. Jokes are only funny if there's an element of truth in them, which your joke lacted. Greatly.

Tell the truth now Auraptor, you beat off to Bill O'Reilly, don't you? I just knew all your fawning adulation for Rush Limbaugh was too unbelievable. You're in the closet over O'Reilly aren't you! Admit it!

How's the training going Rap? You ready to lead the chairborne ranger assault into Korea yet?
