Plain Talk...

March 06 - LS - SL

A Stranger was seated next to a Jamaican on Air Jamaica when the stranger
turned to the Jamaican and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights will go
quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
The Jamaican, who had just turned on some reggae on his walkman,
turned it down, and said to the stranger,

"Wha yu like fe discuss, sar?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the stranger. Thinking that he would stump
the Jamaican...he said "Nuclear power?"

"Aaa right," said the Jamaican, "dat could be one in-tresting topic.
But mek me ask yu one question fus".

"Go ahead ", said the stranger.

"A donkey, a cow and a deer all eat grass, rite? Yet a deer excretes
little pellets,
while a cow turn out flat patties, and donkey produces clumps of dried
grass. Why do you suppose that is?"

"Jeez," said the stranger. "I have no idea."

"Well, den," said the Jamaican, "How de rass is it dat yu feel
qualified fe discuss nuclear power wen yu don't even know shit?"
