Ahhhhh my favourite part of the Messiah

I've always worried about that bit... This is one of those bits of music I always have trouble singing with a straight face. I remember one choir I was in was doing some anthem, the name of which I forget, but which contained the line "Oh Absalom, my son! My son!" repeated rather a lot, which was fine until someone started saying that it sounded like sub-'The Bill' dialog - "Oi Absalom, you are nicked my son!"
It wasn't quite the same after that.
