A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane.
Little while later 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?" 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 sh*t?’
