Bill Clinton's Definition of Tragedy

A class is being taught when Bill Clinton walks in. He asks the class, "What is a tragedy?"

One kid, named Jim, raises his hand and says, "If my family and I got ran over by a truck, that would be a tragedy." Bill Clinton replies, "That would be an accident, not a tragedy."

A couple of seconds later, Audrey raises her hand and says, "If a school shooting would happen and 10 kids died, that would be a tragedy." Bill Clinton replies once again with: "That would be a great loss, not a tragedy." All of the kids are confused now when all of a sudden Matthew says, "If you and Hillary Clinton were on an airplane and it got blown up, that would be a tragedy!"

"Yes!" Says Bill Clinton "How do you know?" Matthew says happily, "It is definitely not an accident, and certainly not a great loss!"

Listen here, you brainless buffoon. You think this is just a silly story, don't you? First of all, you need to learn to write better, it's like you just threw random words on a page and called it a day. Second, this "joke" relies on the fact that Bill Clinton has had some controversy with him. The joke is that Bill doesn't think something is a tragedy if it hurts other people, but if he's hurt, it's a tragedy. You are a joke, not the story.
