Overheardisms

Are cows mammals?

Uh, yeah,of course cows are mammals.

Are you sure?

Yes, absolutely sure.

How do you know? What makes them mammals?

What else would they be?

I don’t know. You tell me. What makes something a mammal?

Well, a mammal is warmblooded, it usually has hair or fur, and makes milk. It does not make an egg. Well, except for the platypus. The platypus is mammal but it makes an egg. But that’s an anomaly.

How do you know all this?

Um, PBS? School? General knowledge?
