LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE
A congressman was seated next to a little girl on an airplane
so
he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights
go
quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow
passenger."
The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to
the
total stranger, "What would you want to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the congressman. "How about global warming
,
universal health care , or stimulus packages?" as he smiled
smugly.
"OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask
you
a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff
-
grass.
Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a
flat
patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that
is?"
The legislator, visibly surprised by the little girl's
intelligence,
thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified
to
discuss global warming, universal health care, or the economy, when
you
don't know shit?"
And then she went back to reading her book.
