When I was in elementary school, there were four water fountains side by side. They were labeled "Coffee, tea, milk shake, pee". "Milkshake" had the strongest flow, so everyone wanted to drink from the third fountain. "Pee" just trickled out, but sometimes some hapless kid would drink out of it. If he did, he would be teased for the rest of the day.
(Jacob, did you happen to go to the same school as I went to: Hillside School, in Berkeley, CA? Or was it a more widespread phenomenon?)
