The Talk
A man was seated next to a little girl on the
airplane when he 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 man. '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 man, 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 shit?
