A LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE
A politician 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 politician. “How about global warming ,
fast broadband or the Refugee situation?” he said, smiling smugly.
“Okay,” 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, with typical politicians wisdom" Hmmm, I have
no idea."
To which the little girl replies, “Do you really feel qualified to
discuss refugees, computers, or climate change, when you don’t know
s**t?”
Then she went back to reading her book.
