When my daughter was a pre-teen the song "Lucille" by Kenny Rogers was popular. She always thought the line, "You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille - four hungry children and a crop in my fields." was "four hundred children ....."! She used to say, "That's really dumb - NOBODY has 400 children!"
