LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE
A Congressman was seated next to a little girl on a airplane when
he turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights
go quicker if you strike up a conversationwith your fellow passenger.'
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and
said to the total stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?'
'Oh, I don't know,' said the congressman. 'How about global warming
or universal health care', and he smiles smugly.
OK, ' she said. 'Those could be interesting topics. 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 legislator, 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 global warming or universal health care when you don't know
crap?
