A stranger was seated next to Tasha on the airplane when the stranger turned to Tasha and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passengers."
Tasha, who had 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?"
"Ok," Tasha said, "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?"
The stranger thinks about it and says, "Hmmm.... I have no idea,"
To which Tasha replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit."
