When I was little, my uncle was driving us home from a day at the beach. My brother and sister and I saw one of those tall water towers in the distance and asked my uncle what it was. He said, and I kid you not, that it was skunk. For years after that, every time we saw a water tower we would scream SKUNK at the top of our lungs. It wasn't until we grew up that Mom finally asked us why we yelled skunk everytime we saw a water tower and she's still not sure she believes us.
