LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE
> 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 abou
> t?'
>
> 'Oh, I don't know,' said the stranger. 'How about nuclear power?' and he
smiles.
>
> 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 the same
> stuff - grass - . 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, 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
nuclear power when you don't know ****?
