Jul 31, 09 06:35 pm — Little Girl on a Plane

A US Congressman was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the
Congressman 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 the banking crisis or the
swine flu crisis?' and he smiles.

'OK', she said. 'Those could be interesting and timely 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, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you
suppose that is?'

The Congressman, 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
banking when you don't know crap?'
