Setting? a boarding academy with farm. (private high school)
A new boy from the city arrived. The farm boys conspired. They said, "come to the barn, we'll show you around, we'll teach ya how to milk the cows". They put a cow in the milking stantion against a wall, (There's wide cracks in the wall behind cow and one of the farm boys saunters off, goes around the back side of wall.) One tells the city kid, "you hold the cow's tail like this, and pump it up and down like this," (a strong stream of milk squirts in the pail) City kid tries it but no milk comes, "You're not doing it quiet right, try it like this," (another strong stream hits the pail)
City kid tries again, and finally gets a weak steam of milk to flow, and he gets excited, "I did it!!!" Then they diverts his attention and goes on to show him other things. Never did get around to telling him what was going on. As far as they know, he still thinks you milk a cow by pumping it's tail.
A true story, my neighbor told me about it, happened when he was at the school in the 1970's.
