Good Luck Mr. Gorsky

Goes the urban myth that 26 years later he finally conceded a young reporter the explanation. When he was a kid he overheard the neighbours, Ms. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky while playing in the backyard: “Sex! You want sex?! You’ll get sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!”.
