Think About It A Member of Congress was seated next to a little girl on an air plane 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 congressman. "How about global
warming, universal health care, or stimulus packages?" as he smiled smugly. "OK," 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, "Hmmm, I have no idea." To which the little
girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss global warming, universal health care, or the
economy, when you don't know shit?" And then she went back to reading her book.
