President Bush was seated next to Little Tommy on a plane (Air Force 1 was
being repaired) when
he decided to have some fun with the boy. He turned to the boy and said,
"Let's talk. I've heard that flights will go quicker if you
strike up a
conversation with your fellow passenger. Little Tommy, who had just
turned on his game boy, laid it down slowly, and said to Bush,
"What would you like to discuss?" "Oh, I don't
know," he replied. "How about
the Middle East situation and its impact on the American economy?",
he said with a smirk.
"Well, ... OK," said Tommy. "I guess 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 drops little
pellets, a cow leaves a flat patty, and a horse leaves clumps of dried
grass. Why do you suppose that is?"
"Jeez," said the President. "I have no idea."
"Well, then," said Little Tommy, "How is it that you feel
qualified to
discuss the Middle East situation and its impact on the American economy
when you don't know shit?"
