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."
"Do you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know
sh.t?"
