Barack Obama was seated next to a little girl
on an airplane trip back to Washington. He 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 Obama, "What would you like to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know," said Obama. "How about What Changes I Should Make To America?" he said smiling.
"OK," she says. "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?"
Obama, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks
about it for a second and finally says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
The little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified to change America when you don't know shit?"
