Sometimes I try to pull "other-mammal" knowledge from people.  But when I ask what a farmer could do to get more milk from a cow, the answer is often a blank look followed by "Give it more water?"  I'm amazed that the notion of more frequent milking just doesn't occur to people.  I wonder if it would have 75 years ago.

(Along those lines, I loved the time I tossed a can of tuna fish to a conference participant and asked her what she could do to bring it to body temperature.  She thought for just a moment, then slipped it into her blouse and hugged it.)
