But Geeze, Barbara -- UDDERMILK is taken very seriously in the dairy
industry.  COWS are taken very seriously in the dairy industry.  PUMPS are
taken very seriously in the dairy industry.  The MONEY the COWS who are
PUMPED for their UDDERMILK is taken VERY seriously in the dairy industry.

We are only talking about humans here -- and women and babies at that.  Not
to be taken seriously.

Seriously tongue in cheek,
