Inflight conversation.



A white man was seated next to a little black girl on the airplane, when he 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 coloring book, closed it slowly and said to the man,

"What would you like to talk about?"

"Oh, I don't know," said the man,

"But, since you are black, do you think that So-called President elect Barak Obama is qualified for the job?" and he smiles.

"OK", she said. 'That could be an interesting topic.

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 man, 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 President Barack Obama ..... when you don't know shit!"

The Bathtub Test



During a visit to the mental hospital, I asked the Director 'How do you determine whether or not a patient should be admitted to the hospital.'.

'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub, then we give a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him to empty the bathtub.'

'Oh, I understand,' I said. 'A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.'

'No.' said the Director, 'A normal person would pull the drain plug.

Well....... Do you want a bed near the window?'
