That reminds me a story that my dad likes to tell. He went to Xavier University in Cincinnati for college. This would have been in the mid-1950s. A friend of his was visiting from home and my dad and his college buddies took him to a local diner for dinner. Before they ordered, my dad tells his friend that goat's milk is pretty common in Ohio and that his friend should specify to the waitress that he wants cow's milk instead. His trusting friend complies. Of course, the waitress looks at him likes he's nuts and my dad and his friends bust out laughing.

I love this story. Not because it is that funny (although it does make me giggle), but because what passed for fun in the 1950s seems so innocent now.
