A teacher I know told me this one: she had a female student who never heard that women could produce milk and nurse babies. When the student put two-and-two together and finally understood, she blurted out, dumbfounded "LIKE COWS???"
The kicker (and I'm not lying here) -- she teaches pre-med students in COLLEGE!
