A stranger was seated next to Little Mary on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
Little Mary, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, "What would you like to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the stranger. "How about nuclear power?"
"OK," Little Mary said. "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?"
The stranger thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
Little Mary fires back, "Then do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"
