A friend and I were at the checkout clerk in the local grocery with his 5-year-old son when the George Michael/Elton John song "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" came over the in-store loudspeaker system. At the chorus the lad began belting "Don't let your son go down on me." We were mightily embarassed and had quite a time hushing him amidst the snickers and appalled expressions of the grocery clerks and other customers on-line. It was quite some time before my friend again shopped that grocery.
