English Original
A stranger sat next to Little Johnny on a plane. The stranger turned to him and said, "Let's talk. I've heard flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
Little Johnny, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly and replied, "What would you like to discuss?"
"Oh, I don't know," said the stranger. "How about nuclear power?"
"OK," said Little Johnny. "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, a cow produces a flat patty, and a horse leaves clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"
"Jeez," said the stranger. "I have no idea."
"Well, then," said Little Johnny, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"

飞机上，一个陌生人坐在小约翰尼旁边。陌生人转向他说：“我们聊聊天吧。我听说如果和邻座乘客聊起来，飞行时间会感觉过得快一些。”
小约翰尼刚刚打开书，又慢慢合上，回答道：“你想讨论什么？”
“哦，我也不知道，”陌生人说。“核能怎么样？”
“可以，”小约翰尼说。“这可能是个有趣的话题。但让我先问你一个问题。马、牛和鹿都吃草，吃的是同一种东西。然而，鹿排出的是小颗粒，牛产出的是扁平的粪饼，而马拉出的是干草团。你认为这是为什么？”
“天哪，”陌生人说。“我完全不知道。”
“那么，”小约翰尼说，“在你连这点‘屎事’都不懂的情况下，你怎么觉得自己有资格讨论核能呢？”
