Out of the Mouths of Babes

[robyne2000]

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."

To which the little girl replies, " Do you really feel qualified
to
discuss nuclear
power when you don't know shit ? "
