Plane Talk

Adam Zombie was seated next to Peewee Zombie on the plane ready to go to New York where they are more Brains than in their little town.

Adam Zombie turned to Peewee Zombie and said, “Let’s talk. I’ve heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”

Peewee Zombie, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly, and said to Adam Zombie, “What would you like to discuss?”

“Oh, I don’t know,” said Adam Zombie. “How about BRAINs?”

“No, that’ll just make me more hungry” said Peewee Zombie

“Ok, then” said Adam Zombie. “How about nuclear power?”

“OK,” said Peewee Zombie. “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 Adam Zombie. “I have no idea.”

“Well, then,” said Peewee Zombie, “How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don’t know shit?”
