NUCLEAR POWER

A stranger was seated next to a little girl 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.
The little girl, 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?' and he smiles.
'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
.?
