Conversation on an Airplane. . . .

CONVERSATION ON AN AIRPLANE....

A stranger was seated next to a
little girl on an airplane that was leaving Chicago O'Hare. 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."
The little girl then asks, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss
nuclear power when you don't know s**t?"
