harro 0 #1 January 9, 2003 Two strangers were seated next to each other on the plane when the first guy turned to the second and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger." The second guy, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly, took off his glasses and said to the first guy, "What would you like to discuss?" "Oh, I don't know," said the first guy. "How about nuclear power?" "OK," said the second guy. "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 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?" "Jeez," said the first guy. "I have no idea." "Well, then," said the second guy, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"Jumpy Jumpy?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessd 0 #2 January 9, 2003 That's pretty funny. I've had some people try to stike up conversations with me on the plane. I'd rather just try to sleep.

Casch 0 #3 January 9, 2003 when I was 15, I ended up sitting next to a sports photographer. He was pretty cool. He showed me some pix, most of them were "conventional" sports, but he had some skiing/snowboarding/ skydiving (of course those were taken from the ground). He even offered to give me a tour of some news station (ch.2 news...I forget). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VivaHeadDown 0 #5 January 9, 2003 There are only three catagories of conversation I'll take up on a plane: 1. What do you want to do on this one? 2. The subsequent answer to number one, or re-ask the question in hopes someone else has a brilliant idea. 3. Anything that'll make a tandem student wet his/her shorts in fear of his/her life. Otherwise I agree with sleep. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
