Presidential candidate, Barack Obama was visiting a 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 the presidential candidate if he would like to lead the discussion on the word

'tragedy'.?

So our illustrious democrat presidential candidate asked the class for an

example of a 'tragedy'.

*One little boy stood up and offered: 'If my best friend, who lives

on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over

him and kills him, that would be a tragedy?'*

*'No,' said Obama, 'that would be an accident.'*

*A little girl raised 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,' explained Obama. 'That's what we would call

great loss.'*

*The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Obama searched

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

Finally at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. In

a quiet voice he said: 'If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Obama

was struck by a 'friendly fire' missile and blown to smithereens

that would be a tragedy.'*

*'Fantastic!' exclaimed Obama. 'That's right. And can you tell me

why that would be tragedy?'*

*'Well,' says the boy, 'It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly

wouldn't be a great loss... and it probably wouldn't be a frigging

accident either.'

KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ!

Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder.

Somehow I feel better, even though I have it!!

Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. -

Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway,

I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.

As I start toward the garage,

I notice mail on the porch table that

I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.

I lay my car keys on the table,

put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,

and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back

on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think,

since I'm going to be near the mailbox

when I take out the garbage anyway,

I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table,

and see that there is only one check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study,

so I go inside the house to my desk where

I find the can of soda I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks,

but first I need to push the soda aside

so that I don't accidentally knock it over.

The soda is getting warm,

and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the soda,

a vase of flowers on the counter

catches my eye - they need water.

I put the soda on the counter and

discover my reading glasses that

I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk,

but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter,

fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.

Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we watch TV,

I'll be looking for the remote,

but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,

so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,

but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers,

but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table,

get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to

remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

the car isn't washed

the bills aren't paid

there is a warm can of soda sitting on the counter

the flowers don't have enough water ,

there is still only 1 check in my check book,

I can't find the remote,

I can't find my glasses,

and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,

I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day,

and I'm really tired.

I realize this is a serious problem,

and I'll try to get some help for it,

but first I'll check my e-mail....

Do me a favor.

Forward this message to everyone you know,

because I don't remember who I've sent it to.

Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!
