If someone swallows and laughs at the same time, it often causes liquid to hit the epiglottis. Although this clearly describes why our unfortunate milk drinker began to cough, it does not explain why the milk came out of his nose. You could find the soft palate and uvula are near the back of the throat. When a person coughs or vomits, these tissues are pushed back, separating the back of your mouth area from the back of your nose. (Think of it as a door closing.) This protective reflex works most of the time, but the system isn't perfect, which is why things can sometimes shoot out of your nose. It is very uncommon for food to take this path, because the nasal passages are so small. For milk and other liquids, however, this can happen more easily -- hence all those lunchrooms that serve as launching pads for milk rockets.

If a cow laughed real hard would milk come out her nose?

Milk comes out of our noses if we laugh while we are drinking milk. Cows don't drink milk, so it wouldn't be milk that came out. Maybe water? And they don't laugh. Maybe because they have poor senses of humor? I think the closest you are going to come with a cow is a runny nose. ____ Cows don't laugh they moo.
