Okay... been a while so.....
Old lady is sitting in the window seat on a jet, passengers are boarding and she is just reading a book. Young man.... mid thirties sits down next to her. They exchange a quick glance and she goes back to reading while he watches everyone else board.... During the flight attendants' little spiel he notices she does not even look up from her book. Shortly after take off as they were leveling out from the initial assent he looks over and asks, do you mind if we have a conversation? it always seems to make the flight a little shorter for me. She takes a long look at him, slowly nods in the affirmative, places a book mark and puts her book in her purse. turning to the young man she asks, what would you like to talk about?
The young man (mid 30s mind you) thinks for a second and says how about current events.... no how about RFK and how vaccinations are causing autism?
She looks at him long and hard and then says okay, this could be interesting... maybe.... BUT you have to answer me one question first before I will discuss that with you.
He says all right, I am game.
All right she says, a deer, a cow and a horse all eat grass right, typically a similar diet right?
Well sure he gets out rather weakly, confused as to where this is going.....
So a deer's poop is lots of small little balls clumped together, a cows poop is a big pie that splats against the ground and a horses poop is large clumps all strung together. Why are they so different if they are eating a similar diet?
The young man thinks... his brow furrows... he looks around the cabin as if searching for an answer..... Alas he turns back to her and says" i do not know" " i honestly could not tell you".
She takes a little time staring at the purse she placed her book in... then slowly turns back toward the young man...
look young man, you may be very nice, but why would I want to discuss vaccinations or current events or RFK with you? Especially when you don't know shit?
She then reaches in her bag and pulls her book out.
