Dan Rather and Little Tommy...

Dan Rather of CBS news was seated next to little Tommy on the plane
When Rather turned to the boy and said, "Let's talk, I've heard that
flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passengers.

Little Tommy, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly, and
said to Rather, "What would you like to discuss?"

"Oh, I don't know" said Rather, "How about politics? Should we keep
Bush as president or elect Kerry?"

"OK" said Little Tommy, "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
flat pattys, and a horse excretes clumps of dried grass. Why do you
think that is?"

"Jeez" said Rather, "I have no idea."

"Well then" said Little Tommy, How is it you feel qualified to discuss
who should run this country when you don't know Sxxt?" :jaw: :nod:

Boy, ain't that the truth. :right:

And you'd think that Dan would know all about it, being a professional a*****e and all.
