When actor/musician Harry Connick Jr. was young he had a dream about cannibalistic sheep that scared him so badly he needed the lights to be on while he slept for an entire month. He gradually forgot the dream as he got older, but as adult he suddenly remembered the specifics of the dream when a fellow diner told him what mutton was. He screamed non-stop for 30 minutes before a quick-thinking assistant threw a Xanax and a rohypnol in his mouth when he stopped to take a breath. He slept for 12 hours and woke up having forgotten the whole incident. His friends, family and employees now warn everyone to never mention mutton to him again.

Actor Adam Sandler used to scream involuntarily every time his cell phone rang. This continued until his personal assistant had the bright idea of changing his cell phone ringtone to the sound of Sandler screaming.
