LITTLE GIRL ON A PLANE

Julia Gillard was seated next to a little girl on an aeroplane leaving from Sydney . She turned to her and said,

'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passengers.'

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to Gillard, 'What would you like to talk about?'

'Oh, I don't know,' said Julia. 'How about global warming or health care', and she smiles smugly.

OK, ' the girl said. 'Those could be interesting topics. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a

kangaroo all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a kangaroo 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 PM, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'

The little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss global warming or health care when you don't know shit?'
