Swear to God, this happened. I was working in a shoe store one Easter Saturday (big day for shoes) when I was a student. (don't knock it- decent hours & the commissions were good). A woman walked in w/ no fewer than 7 kids and lined them up according to age & height & started calling their names out. Among the names were: "Freon" & "Rayon". They all pretty much rhymed in the Creon/Breon range. I thought I was going to have a stroke or rupture something from the accumulated stifled laughter. A refrigerant and a synthetic fiber. Priceless.
