Two strangers were seated next to each other on the plane. The guy turned
to the cute blonde next to him and made his move.

"Let's talk." He said. "I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

The blonde, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly, and said to the guy, "What would you like to discuss?"

"Oh, I don't know," said the guy. "How about nuclear power?"

"OK," said the blonde. "That could be an interesting topic, but let me ask you a question first." "Horses, cows, and sheep all eat grass. The same stuff. Yet a sheep excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces muffins of dried poop. Why do you suppose that is?"

"Oh brother," said the guy. "I have no idea."
