The Time is...or Que is la Hora, por favor?

An American biologist visiting southern Mexico (against the present U.S. State Dept. advisories), and wants to practice her Spanish.
"Que is la Hora, por favor?", she asks an old man sitting next to a cow at a farm stand.

Hearing her question, the man reaches between the legs of the cow and lifts the beast's udder for a moment, and then in perfect English replies "It's 4:30 Señora."

Shocked, the tourist hurries away, but soon her curiosity piqued, she makes her way back to the farm stand.

"Sir", she asks in English this time, "I am a Biology Professor, and I have a very keen interest in traditional medicine and folklore. You must tell me, how were you able to determine the time of day from that animal? Was it skin tension, perhaps? Temperature? Does the animal respond differently at different times of day to the examination?"

"That is easy Señora!" he says standing up, "Come here and try it yourself."

Being a biologist by trade, she overcomes her natural hesitation and takes the old man's seat, and gently lifts the udder, to which the old man reacts by chuckling loudly.

"So" , he says, "NOW, can you see the clock hanging inside the shed on the other side of the cow?"

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.~ John Lennon
