"A Supporter of the orange oompa loompa Was Seated Next To An Older
Woman 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 old woman, who had just started to read her book, replied to
the total stranger,
"What would you like to talk about?"
"Oh, I don't know,' said the man. "How about how they stole the
election in 2020 and Donald Trump should be president."
"Okay," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask
you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same
stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow
turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you
suppose that is?"
The man, visibly surprised by the old woman's question, thinks
about it and says, "Hmm, I have no idea."
To which the old woman replies, "Do you really feel qualified to
discuss politics, when you don't know shit?""
My apologies to red dog 1. I modified his post slightly. You can

fought the Law" here:

My spell checker knew the "correct" spelling for oompa loompa. How
did we ever get along without them?

oompaloompa The spell checker gave that a red line. I was very
embarrassed. It makes you look so uncivilized when you do that sort
of thing. And then I got the word "embarrassed" wrong because I
didn't have enough 'r's or 's's or some damn thing.
