BS: dan rather and politics

Dan Rather of CBS News was seated next to little Tommy on the plane when Rather turned to the boy and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passengers."

Little Tommy, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly, and said to Rather, "What would you like to discuss?"

"Oh, I don't know," said Rather. "How about politics? Should we keep Bush as president or elect Kerry?"

"OK," said Little Tommy. "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 flat patties, and a horse excretes clumps of dried grass. Why do you think that is?"

"Jeez," said Rather. "I have no idea."

"Well then," said Little Tommy, "how is it you feel qualified to discuss who should run this country when you don't know shit?"

Cute, but does it add to the clarity of the discussion?

No Don, but one thing Mudcat sorely needs right now is humor.

Deer don't eat grass. They browse on the foliage of bushes, trees, and other leafy plants, but not grass. That's why their shit looks a lot like rabbit shit. Rabbits have similar eating habits to deer. Can you guess which animal has shit that looks and smells the most like human shit? Groundhogs (woodchuck). Imagine that. I wonder what that says about humans.

Nope. Just an uncanny coincidence, GS. Roll of the dice.

Why would you say that, tarheel? Don't you have any sense of humor? Anyway, I have just compared the smell of my shit to that of a groundhog, and I can tell you, as someone who used to do wildlife rehabilitation work, groundhog shit does, indeed, stink.
