Okay, I got this from a colleague of mine today and just had to share. Reminds me of my own precocious kids! Here goes:
A stranger was seated next to a little girl on an airplane. He turns to her and says: “Let’s talk.
I’ve heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passengers. “
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said, “What would you like to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said the stranger. “How about nuclear power?” he said with a smile.
“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 which the little girl replies “Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don’t know shit???”
I guess that’s why I don’t have many articles here about nuclear power!!!
