The guy is a jerk, the girl replies with a non sequitur. It would be equally asinine if the jerk were a member/adherent any religion, philosophy, or political party you might want to make him.
Grrr. This annoys me.
On the plus side, I have decided that the next time someone interrupts me while I’m reading, I will look them straight in the eye and ask, “What do you know about poop?” That oughta shut 'em up.
Another problem with the joke: the little girl could always run into someone who knows why (in large part it’s because deer and cows are ruminants and horses aren’t).
Yeah, it does, doesn’t it. I just had a hard time thinking of something to substitute that didn’t make me seem like a complete pervert. Better not to have posted.
I know I can speak for all atheists when I say, we will smite your friends.
No-one gets to poke fun at our…our…at our…no-one gets to…I mean, they’ve disrespected our…they’ve, wait a minute…what they’ve done is to make light of our most deeply held…well no, actually not that, but they are going to burn, well not exactly burn, well not in any way burn, they’ll be tortured as…OK, not in any real or even metaphorical sense or but…errr…so yeah, screw them!
THEIR WEAK ATTEMPT AT PROVOCATIVE HUMOUR WILL NOT STAND! MY MILD IRRITATION AND MORE OVERWHELMING INDIFFERENCE MUST BE AVENGED!
I’m not saying where or when but as soon as we’ve worked out exactly what they’ve blasphemed against, and exactly what supernatural powers we are going to call upon, they will be smitted. Unless it’s a Wednesday, I’ve got football training on a Wednesday.
A man whose belief system or lack thereof is not important, was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”
The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger…
Actually, I imagine the atheist knows more about Heaven and Hell than the little girl and perhaps most other people. She was just being a party-pooper.
Well, little girl, animals process food in different ways, taking advantage of different food sources, due to how they evolved. While cows and deer are both ruminants, deer don’t eat grass. They’re concentrate selectors. They nibble on leaves and other, more nutritious plant matter because their energy costs are a lot higher than that of cattle. Grass actually is a very small part of their diet (the food of last resort, if you will).
Horses can subsist on grasses and grain, but they’re not ruminants like cow or deer. They process food very differently. Therefore, they excrete it differently as well.
