US Congressman

[Steelharp]

A US Congressman on his way to a town-hall meeting was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the Congressman 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 Congressman, 'What would you like to talk about?'

'Oh, I don't know,' said the Congressman. 'How about Health Care?' and he smiles.

'OK', she said. 'That could be an interesting and timely discussion. 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 Congressman, 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 Health Care when you don't know s**t?'
