LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE----
A congressman was seated next to a little girl on an airplane so he turned
to her
and said, "Do you want to talk?
Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow
passenger."
The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the
total
stranger, "What would you want to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the congressman.
"How about global warming, universal health care, or stimulus packages?"
as he smiled 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, but a horse produces clumps.
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,
universal health care, or the economy, when you don't know ****?"
And then she went back to reading her book.
