A guy was seated next to a 10-year-old girl on an airplane. Being bored, he
turned to the girl and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker
if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
The girl, who had ever been a board moderator for more than ten years.
and was reading a book, closed it slowly and said to the guy, "What
would you like to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the guy. "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 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 guy thought about it and said, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
To which the girl replied, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear
power when you don't know s**t?"
