This quote follows a discussion of what worthy cause to donate money to. It has been decided that the money should be given to the Audubon Society because they are kind to birds, and that some birds face extinction. A boy involved in the conversation speaks up,
"What's extinction?" asked Al(fred) Gore. "Does it mean they stink?"
I found that extremely funny. Borderline hilarious. I added the parenthesis.
