Let's Talk

A stranger was seated next to Ken on an empty flight to England. The stranger turned to Ken and said, “Let’s talk. I’ve heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passengers.”

Ken, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly, and said to the stranger, “Okay, what would you like to talk about?”

“I don’t know,” said the stranger. “How about nuclear power?”

“Okay,” said Ken. “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?”

“Jeez,” said the stranger. “I have no idea.”

“Well then,” said Ken, “How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don’t know shit?”
