A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the
stranger 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 the stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?'

'Oh, I don't know,' said the stranger. 'How about nuclear power?' and
he smiles.

'OK,' she said. '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?'

The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence,
thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'

To which the little girl replies, 'Do you REALLY feel qualified to
discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?

Maybe it's just me but it so sounds like he was trying to hit on her.

Maybe it's a true story, it was sent to me by a Priest I know. :pinch:
Any way she sorted the stranger out. :niceone:

She sounds like she grew up in my family.

Similar to something my dad taught me to say to any nosey overly friendly strangers I came across :yes:

The original version of this story starred a blonde, rather than a little girl, and yes - he was trying to hit on her.

Five Englishmen in an Audi Quattro arrived at an Irish border checkpoint.
Paddy the officer stops them and tells them: "It is illegal to put 5
people in a Quattro, Quattro means four"

"Quattro is just the name of the automobile," the Englishmen retorts
disbelievingly. "Look at the papers: this car is designed to carry
five persons."

"You cannot pull that one on me," replies Paddy "Quattro means four.
You have five people in your car and you are therefore breaking the law."

The Englishmen replies angrily, "You idiot! Call your supervisor over I
want to speak to someone with more intelligence!"

"Sorry," responds Paddy, "Murphy is busy with 2 guys in a Fiat Uno."

I usually indicate that a conversation is over by putting a finger in each ear and start singing LALALALALALALA!

Works a treat.

If you have more time to spare you can work wonders by replying to everything said to you with : "Well, that's what YOU think!" and pointing at the person in question.

It obviously wasn't on Air NZ. No sitting strangers next to little girls.
