Little Girl On A Plane

> A Congressman was seated next to a little girl on an airplane so he turned

> The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the

> "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
> chit?" Then she went back to reading her book.
