Back in the days... Primeminister Thatcher goes to Belfast (joke enough right there!) They want to show her how smart the weens are, so they take her to a Protestant school where there is a single Catholic, Young Bad Bobbie McKillan. The teacher sais, Can any of ye tell Mrs. Thatcher the meaning of Tragidy?
Annie McMasters says, I can, I can teacher, it is when, say, two cars crash at an intersection and everyone is kilt, and that is a tragidy.
Och no dear, that is no tragidy, that is an accedent!
So little Billy Craig, whoes father works at Harland Wolff, building ships, says, Och I can, I can, it is loyk if two of the big ships me daddy builds crash in the ocean and sink and everyone is drownded and that is a tragidy isntitnot?
No its not, Billy, that is a great loss!
Bad Bobbie McKillan shoots up out of his chair, OCH I KNOW! I KNOW! A tragidy is like if the IRA puts a wee bomb under Mrs. Thatcher and blows her to little bits and thats a tragidy!
Much surprised and pleased the teacher says, Aye! Thats it, Bobbie, that is a tragidy, and can you tell us why?!
BECAUSE IT IS NO ACCEDENT AND NO GREAT LOSS! Bobbie roars back (fully chuffed!)
THE END!
All the best
