Can't believe I'm contributing to this thread, but I don't understand!  
Nobody's ever heard of the sexual connotations of lemons?  It's the same 
sort of thing as caves or guns...a pretty common sexual metaphor.   

Yeah, Led Zep's quote of Robert Johnson's rather...ahem...unsubtle use of 
the metaphor is one example.  Think it was in Lovecraft's "Rocking Horse
Winner" (or something like that), and I've seen it a few other places too.

Speaking of the "Rocking Horse Winner", isn't it kinda cool that it's 
standard junior high reading?  Some English-teacher guy thinks he's really 
sneaky, I bet.
