O/T but hopefully amusing

Another 12-hr day today, but I don't see why we should all be miserable.....

President Mugabe is visiting a primary school and he visits one of the classes. They are in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.
The teacher asks the president if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy". So the illustrious leader asks the class for an example of a tragedy.
One little boy stands up and offers: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a war-vet. comes along and knocks him dead with a log, that would be a tragedy."
"No," says Mugabe," that would be an accident."
A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explains the president. "That's what we would call a great loss."
The room goes silent. No other children volunteer.
Mugabe searches the faces. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
Finally at the back of the room a small boy raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says: "If a Zimbabwe Air Force jet carrying Mr & Mrs Mugabe were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic!" exclaims Mugabe, "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?"
"Well," says the boy, "because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be an accident either."

Ronald Reagan and G.W. Bush are taking a walk around Camp David when they come across a mirror lying in the dirt.
Reagan goes up to the mirror and takes a look in it and says, "I don't know, but I am sure I know that man's face".
G.W. goes over, pushing Reagan to one side so he can see for himself.
"You great idiot" he says, "It's me!"
