Nuclear Power and Shit

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said: "Let's talk, I am sure that flights are faster if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

The little girl who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and asked the stranger, "What would you like to talk about?"

"Oh, I don't know", said the stranger.

"How about nuclear power?" The girl asked.

"Ok," he said "That could be an interesting topic!"

The girl continues: "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?"

"The stranger thinks about it and says:"Hmmm, I have no idea."

To which the little girl replies:"Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"

When God asked me to marry again

A funny narration by Mr. Ranjan about his dream where God asked him to marry again. The funny part is the conversation about this topic with his wife.

"God wanted a favour from you?" I did notice a smile escaping on Rekha's face.

"Yes. Apparently, God has a 56 year old devotee who has a 27 year old daughter named Pratiksha. He wants me to marry her."

.....

"Rekha, I swear I can identify God's voice. The lightening was equivalent to three or four tube lights and the boom in his voice can't be replicated unless somebody had installed 3000 Watts Bose speakers."

"So, I understand you are going ahead with God's dictate and marrying that Pratiksha girl?"
