Little girl on a plane

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
obviously don't know crap?"

She went back to reading her book.
