Beware of little girls on planes [humor]

A stranger is seated next to a little girl on an airplane when he turns to her and says, “Let’s talk.  I’ve heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with a fellow passenger.”

The little girl who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and says to the stranger, “What would you like to talk about?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” smiles the stranger.  “How about nuclear power?”

“Ok,” she says.  “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 stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, “Hmm, 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?”
