A bored Democrat congressperson from San Francisco was seated next to a little girl on a commercial flight so she turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker with intelligent conversation."
The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the somewhat familiar stranger, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the politician. "How about global warming, universal health care, or the stimulus package?”
"OK," the little girl said. "Those could be interesting topics 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, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"
The former Speaker of the House, visibly surprised by the question, thinks about it and says, "Wow, I have no idea."
To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss global warming, universal health care, or the economy, when you don't know shit?"
And then she went back to reading her book about the Boston Tea Party.
And Nancy went quietly back to California and was never heard from again.
(I wish…)
