A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the
airplane when the stranger turned to her and said,
"Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if
you strike up a conversation with your fellow
passenger."
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed
it slowly and said to the stranger, "What would you
like to talk about?"
Oh, I don't know", said the stranger. "How about
nuclear power?"
"OK," she said. "That could be an interesting topic.
But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow,
and a deer all eat grass, the same stuff. Yet a deer
excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat
patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass.
Why do you suppose that is?"
The stranger thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have
no idea."
To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel
qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know
shit?"
