A congressman 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 congressman as he smiled smugly, “How about global warming; universal health care; or stimulus packages?”

“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 that the little girl replied, “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.

Try these on for size. If one made you smile, hold that thought :-)
