Former President Bill Clinton, with the help of VP, Al Gore, pull cable in a new classroon. The white cable is for voice; the blue cable is for data; and the pink cable is for a spy cam to be installed in the ladies restroom.

Former President Clinton is visiting an elementary school and drops in on the 4th grade class. The class is in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks the Ex-President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word "tragedy." So, Clinton asks the class for an example of a "tragedy." A little boy raises his hand and after a nod from Clinton says: "My best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over. That would be a tragedy." "No," says Clinton, "that would be an accident." A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved, that would be a tragedy." "I'm afraid not," explains the Ex-President. "That's what we would call a GREAT LOSS." The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. Former President Clinton searches. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?" Finally, way in the back of the room, Lil' Johnny raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says, "If Air Force One, carrying you & Mrs. Clinton, was struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy." "Fantastic," exclaims Clinton, "that's right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?" "Well," said Lil' Johnny, "because it wouldn't be an accident, and it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss."

"Even though I graduated at the top of my class from Duke Medical School, I can't quite recall my grade point average.
"I'm not sure if it was an A, A+, B, B-, or..."
Ain't that the truth!
The President who calls himself Bill
Did our country much serious ill
And his Communist wife
Hates our whole way of life
If she can end it, she most certainly will!
