I used to believe that when people said the alphabet and they got to "L, M, N, O, P" they were actually saying "a lemon o' pee", as in a lemon full of pee. I thought the reason lemons were yellow was they were full of pee, and could never figure out why you were given a slice of lemon with water or tea or whatever at restaurants. I had no prolem with lemonade though, not really sure why.
