A Little Girl on a Plane

A Labour minister 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 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 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, with typical Labour 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
Shit?"
Then she went back to reading her book.
