Don't Talk To an Indian Fellow Passenger On a Flight.

An American gets on a plane and finds himself seated next to an Indian.

He immediately turns to him and makes his move.

"You know," says the American, "I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.So let's talk."

The Indian, who had just opened his book, closes it slowly and saysto the American guy, "What would you like to discuss?"

"Oh, I don't know," says the guy, smiling.

"How about nuclear power?"

"OK," says the Indian.

"That could be an interesting topic.

But let me ask you a question first.

A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat thesame stuff, grass. Yet the deer excretes little pellets, the cowturns out a flat patty, and the horse produces muffins of driedpoop.Why do you suppose that is?"

The American guy is dumbfounded.

Finally he replies, "I haven't theslightest idea."

"So tell me," says the Indian, "How is it that you feel qualified todiscuss nuclear power when you don't know shit ?"
