I worked at a historic site where we showed historic crafts, including spinning wool, dying it, etc. As I was showing a Grade 6 class how to spin wool, one boy put up his hand and asked "Do you have to kill the sheep to get its wool?" and my response was "Do you have to slit your throat to get a haircut?" - Whooops
Guess I finally snapped at that answer - poor child, I probably scarred him for life!
One of my friends lived on a Charolais (pure white cattle) farm - a school from the city came out on tour and the teacher proudly showed these cows and said to her students "White milk comes out of these cows - chocolate milk comes out of the brown ones (Herford cattle).
BTW- Charolais aren't used for milk anyway- they're used for meat.
