Misfortune or Disaster

Two philosophers were sitting at a restaurant, discussing whether or not there was a difference between misfortune and disaster.

"There is most certainly a difference," said one. "If the cook suddenly died and we couldn't have our dinner that would be a misfortune -- but certainly not a disaster."

"On the other hand," said the other, "If a cruise ship carrying Congress was to sink in the middle of the ocean, that would be a disaster -- but by no stretch of the imagination would it be a misfortune."

Brilliant deduction...as long as WE are not accidently on that same cruise:)

Can a ship become a sub if Congress is embarked?

What a waste of a lovely cruise.

Would that mean then that Congress would be 'sleeping with the Lawyers'?

Waitaminutewaitaminute 98.5% of them are Lawyers!

Still a waste of a cruise.

Aloha!

I'm not so sure the second scenario would even be classified as a disaster

Why don't we get your Congress and our the UK Parliment on to a cruise asap and hope it sinks!

So how can we lure all the politicians to take a "special" cruise?

The pictorial story... it so convincingly (eloquently) portrays body-soul relationship
