Book of Weirdness

#42

Two strangers were seated next to

each other on the plane when the

guy turned to the beautiful blonde

and made his move by saying, "Let's

talk. I've heard that flights will go

quicker if you strike up a

conversation with your fellow

passenger."

The blonde, who had just opened her

book, closed it slowly, and said to

the guy, "What would you like to

discuss?"

"Oh, I don't know," said the player.

"How about nuclear power?"

"OK," said the blonde. "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?"

"Oh brother," said the guy. "I have

no idea."

"Well, then," said the blond, "How is

it that you feel qualified to discuss

nuclear power when you don't know

shit?"
