Politicians Are The Same The World Over

AnMP was seated next to a little girl on an airplane so he turned to her andsaid,"Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up aconversation with your fellow passenger."

The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the totalstranger, "What would you want to talk about?"

"Oh, I don't know," said the MP. "How about global warming,universal health care, or stimulus packages?" as he smiled smugly.

"OK," she said."Those could be interesting topics but let me askyou 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 MP, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about itand says,"Hmmm, I have no idea."

To which the little girl replies,"Do you really feel qualified to discussglobal warming, universal health care, or the economy, when you don't know sh!t?"

And then she went back to reading her book.
