When I was little we used to live near a milk processing plant. For some reason, I convinced myself that it was a farm and that there were cows living there, despite the fact it was in the middle of a city. When i was about 8 I walked past with my Dad and asked him why you could never hear the animals. Totally deadpan, he told me that all the cows had to go for a special operation to have their moos removed. Worryingly, I was 18 before I happened to comment to a boyfriend that I thought it was pretty cruel that all the cows had to have an operation just so they'd be silent. We split up not too long after...
