THE CONGRESSMAN & THE LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE
A US Congressman was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the Congressman 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 the banking crisis?' and he smiles.
OK, ' she said. 'That could be an interesting and timely 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 Congressman, 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 banking when you don't know $h*t?'
Mark.
HAAAAAAAAAaaaaaha...
and they all think that they are health insurance actuaries. I am sure that in their youth, if someone asked them to enroll in an actuarial math class, it was “ya, right ...”.
thanks for the chuckle

A must send to the congressional budget committee....
Good one! ROTFLMAO!
Funny, huh.
You'd think I was a farmer or something like that, instead, I'm a retired chip-maker. (no not potato)
I learned that studying archaeology...apparently the ratio of cow to horse bones over a set period of time and a set location can indicate a drought in that time frame. More horses than cows would die off because less food would have a bigger impact on the horses.
see, that right there is why i love free republic. i learn something interesting every day. my brothers say i am a fountain of useless trivia, i grew up on a farm, and yet i did not know that. thank you. :)
Me too.
