A LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE
An MP was seated next to a little girl on an aeroplane 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 pat, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"
The MP, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, with typical politician's 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.h.i.t
Then she went back to reading her book.
