I was watching the John Candy film ncle Buck yesterday (it was on ITV3
in London).
Buck leaves an answering message on his girlfriend's phone; when she
listens to the message later she engages in a type of conversation
with it:

Buck: I think about those two little dimples on your buns. Hahaha.
Chanice Kobolowski: Dimples!
Buck: What do we call them? One... one was on the right ... was Lyndon
and left was...
Chanice Kobolowski: It's Johnson.
Buck: Johnson.

My ears pricked up because President Johnson - one of my favourite of
all US prezzes - featured in a personal mnemonic to do with
p...ll....rs.
I used to imagine his name as Lyndon Baines Robert Johnson. It's a
handy aid for the 2nd degree questions.

If Buck had said that "The dimple on the left was called Baines, and
that on the right, Johnson," I would have been REALLY amazed. As it
is, it is just a coincidence.
