Hee. John frequently was :-).  Me too.

IMO, no.  "You lead me on like a lamb to the slaughter" just means that 
the girl is leading him on and he follows trustingly like a lamb, 
knowing what's to come...or supposed to...then all he gets is a "dry 
fish" when she shows him the door or leaves, um , prematurely.

(I like "double-tenderentre', too, BTW...double-tender entree, entree= 
"to enter". You're nasty too, Jon  :-)

Cheers,
Alan
