A stranger was seated next to a 8-year old 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? 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?
