A stranger was seated next to little Tommy (tw). on the plane when
the=A0 stranger turned to the boy and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that
flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your=A0
fellow passenger."=A0
Little Tommy W, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly,=A0
and said to the stranger, "What would you like to discuss?"=A0
"Oh, I don't know," said the stranger. "How about nuclear=A0
power?"=A0=A0
Ok" said little Tommy W. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me
ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat grass. The
same stuff. 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?"=A0=A0
"Jeez," said the stranger. "I have no idea."=A0=A0
"Well, then," said little Tommy W., "How is it that you feel qualified
to discuss nuclear power when you don't know *****?"
