Obama was visiting an elementary school today and when
he visited one of the classes (4th grade I believe), they were 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 our illustrious leader asks the class for
an example of a tragedy.”

One little boy stands up and offers, “If my best friend, who lives next door,
was playing in the street and a car came along and ran over him, that would be a
tragedy.”

“No,” says Obama, “that would be an accident.”

A little girl raises her hand. “If a school bus carrying fifty 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 volunteer. President Obama 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, Little Johnny raises his hand. In a quiet
voice he says, “If Air Force One, carrying Mr. Obama, Mrs. Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi was struck by a missile and blown up to smithereens, that would be a tragedy!”

“Fantastic,” exclaims Obama, “that’s right. And can you tell me WHY that would
be a tragedy?”

“Well,” says Little Johnny, “because it wouldn’t be an accident, and it
certainly would be no great loss!”

I liked the last part, the music crescendo, then the cat runs away. My g/f had a pretty cool cat I paid for, then after several warnings not to let the cat out at night, she did, and it almost died. Then, after another warning, she called me and told me she let the cat out at night, and got squished by a car. "Are you mad at me?" > : / (twitching) "You won't be mad if we break up will you?" We did, that was the last stupid straw..... Thanks for reading my blog! Ok, that was funny. I liked the last part, the music crescendo, then the cat runs away.

It's great for lazy people like us who don't vacuum enough with a regular vac, but you do need to empty the dirt cup frequently. If you're a picky housekeeper you prolly best not get one. We have three kitties, and all three of them are terrified of the Roomba. I don't know how all those folks on YouTube got their cats to ride on one. Ours all head for the hills as soon as they hear the thing start up. We’ve had a Roomba for a number of years and really like it.

There are a couple of videos showing cats (and a litter of kittens) going along for the ride. Unfortunately I have also been told Roombas don't work well ...

(maybe not safe for kids if you find the word masturbation unacceptable ...) http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2007/01/ceilingcat9xd.jpg Great idea, SG. We do need to remember to laugh at truly funny things, not the truly stupid things coming out of Washington!
