Bacon's idols: examples, please

Every time I read an an article on the idols (of the cave, the tribe ...) I understand it, until I close the book. Could some kindly philosophers out there please provide some real life, practical examples of each? That would help me to understand (and remember).

Thank you, politely. I'm sorry that my education is a failure.
