A little girl......

I was seated next to a little girl on an airplane when I 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 me 'What would you like to talk about?'

Oh, I don't know', '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, and a deer all eat grass, the same
stuff. 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?'

I think about it and say, '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 shit?''
