I know its probably been posted before but i really love this one,

Ian Paisley was on a tour of a multi-denominational school in Belfast and he asked the classroom, "Give me an example of a tragedy" A little presbeterian girl stood up and said,"If a person fell off a tree whilst playing,that would be a tragedy."
"Very good", said Paisley,"but that would not be a tragedy, that would be an accident!" A little protestant boy stood up and said, "If a busload of childeren crashed off a cliff,that would be a tragedy!" "Another good one", answered Ian, "but that would not be a tragedy, that would be a great loss" A little catholic boy stood up and said, "If you Mr Paisley were in a plane flying over this country, and it blew up,then that would be tragedy!" "Excellent", said Ian feeling very chuffed with himself, "but how would you know that was a tragedy?" "Well",said the young lad, "It wouldn't be a great loss and it certainly wouldn't be a ****ing accident".
