You have one cow, your neighbor has none. He talks you into feeding the cow Hershey bars in the hopes of getting chocolate milk.
To your surprise, it worked. The only bad part is having to spit out the almonds.

Rational Methodology
The three of you agree that you have two cows, but spend years fighting over the best way to describe how the dairy industry should use them. You form an international committee to resolve the matter. They develop a standard which you reject in favor of one the three of you have been secretly working on all along. Eventually, you each write a book about the best way to use the common model, each of which appears awfully similar to your original methodologies. Along comes a nobody who writes a distillation of your several thousand pages of work. It is instantly the best-selling book on the subject.

Then you also come up with a pumping tool that forces others to milk the cows according your so called unified pumping process that has a very bad graphical ergonomics. Then you make a lot of noise and hype about the pump and eventually sell it along with the cows and your souls to some giant dairy.

Of course, Cindy - I just don't like associating cows with burgers, or McDonald's fries for that matter.
