    Das kleine Mdchen, das gerade sein Buch geffnet hatte, schloss es langsam und sagte zum Manager: „Worber mchten Sie denn reden?“

    „Oh, ich wei nicht“, antwortete der Manager. „Wie wr's ber Atomstrom?“

    „OK“, sagte sie, „dies wre ein interessantes Thema! Aber erlauben Sie mir zuerst eine Frage: Ein Pferd, eine Kuh und ein Reh essen alle dasselbe Zeug: Gras. Aber das Reh scheidet kleine Kgelchen aus, die Kuh einen flachen Fladen und das Pferd produziert Klumpen getrockneten Grases. Warum, denken Sie, dass dies so ist?“

    Der Manager denkt darber nach und sagt: „Nun, ich habe keine Idee.“

    Darauf antwortet das kleine Mdchen: „Fhlen Sie sich wirklich kompetent genug, ber Atomstrom zu reden, wenn Sie beim Thema Scheie schon berfordert sind?“ [ENDE]
