Nuclear Power
GOOD QUESTION!
A stranger was seated next to a 8-year old girl on the airplane when
the stranger 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 the stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?' 'Oh, I don't
know,' said the stranger 'How about nuclearpower? and he smiles.
'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 stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence,
thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.' To w hich the little
girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power
when you don't know shit?
