A story about Grassley
Senator Grassley was on a flight , seated next to a young girl. The girl was reading when Grassley, who has always thought that time will pass faster if striking up a conversation, asked the young girl if she would like to talk about something. The girl looked up from her book and said, "sure. What'll we talk about?" Grassley replied, "How about the banking crisis?" The girl thought that it may be an interesting subject and said "Ok. I have a question for you though. A horse, a deer, and a cow all eat the same thing, grass and yet the cow excretes flat patties, the deer excretes pellets, and the horse excretes dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?" Grassley, visibly surprised by the girl's intelligence thought about it, and replied, "I am not sure. I'll have to think about it." The girl then replied, "How can you know anything about banking if you don't know shit?"

:evilgrin: Truer words have never been spoken.
