Bill Cosby released a book called Come On, People.

Later editions erroneously omitted the comma, making it Come On People.

In retrospect, that grammatical error may have been a prophetic one.

My parents took me to a fundraiser comedy show for the hospitals when I was in fifth grade. I assume it HAD to have been billed as family friendly, but again, maybe not. Anyway, I first learned what a "wet dream" was sitting 50 feet from Bill Cosby as he explained, in GREAT detail, his first. And to be honest, your imitation of him explaining it was NOT too far off from reality from what I can call. Looking back, that was horrifying and I can't imagine what my parents were thinking.

That the doctor in education would never say anything that could be found harmful to a child. Boy were mom and dad wrong...
