CONVERSATION ON AN AIRPLANE....

"CONVERSATION ON AN AIRPLANE....



A stranger was seated next to a little girl on an

airplane that was

leaving Chicago O'Hare. 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.'

The little girl then asks, 'Do you really feel

qualified to discuss

nuclear power when you don't know shit?'"
