FROM THE MOUTHES OF...........

[DuncaninFrance]

A man was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger

turned toward her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker

if you strike up a conversation with a fellow passenger.'

The little 8 year-old 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 man, '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, a Deer and a Rabbit, all eat grass, the

same stuff! Yet the Deer excretes big pellets, the Rabbit small ones, while

the Cow turns out a flat patty and the Horse produces clumps of dried grass.

Why do you suppose that is?'

'The stranger thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, good question. I have no

idea!'

'Well,' the little girl responded, opening her book again, 'Do you really

feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?'
