Mine are a little crass - but that just reflects my stupid sense of humour - but lets hear some from the more enlightened amongst us.

Blame Radio 4 for my new found interest in this subject. Its actually an interesting test for dyslexia. People with the condition cant move the first two letters from the two words around in their heads, but can say it when seen it written.

Back on the corny joke front, there's another long joke, something about a lion between two villages. Since they couldn't go directly from village to village, they had to take a very long circuitous route through some dangerous mountains. Finally they got a plane with a machine gun, went up and shot the lion from the air, allowing them to go directly from village to village. And of course everyone knows, the shortest distance between two points is a strafed lion.

Not a spoonerism. Possibly a sporkerism.

Click on this link for Archie Campbell's Rindercella on YouTube. If you like spoonerisms, you won't find more in a single comedy routine.

Related to Samebone's joke and spoonerisms.

Short version of joke regarding an home remedy to rid a horse of pesky birds by placing yeast in the mane.

Nest is nest, and yeast is yeast, and never the mane shall tweet.

==> Nest is nest, and yeast is yeast, and never the mane shall tweet.
I don't know if that still holds. The social media are becoming more and more pervasive.

My favourite has to be "Why - you are such a shining wit!'

I once narrated a pantomime whilst in the sixth-form at school in entire spoonerisms.

It was the story or Rindacella and her gairy fodmother. And the sugly isters.

HA! Awesome! I'll be using "Shining Wit!" I know quite a few. It'll be fun insulting them in my mind while they hear a compliment.

Spooner himself (I am told) used to refer to the royalty as "The Queer Old Dean".

One of our favorite things to do at the Renaissance festival is go to see Terry Foy... the "Tory Steller".

Of course, listening to Shilliam Wakespear's "Jomeo and Ruliet", a tagic trail of two lovestruck mooners is one of our favorites.

He tells the entire play entirely in spoonerisms. One of my favorite parts is "What soft butt breaks wind by yonder moon"

Of course, Jomeo is a stashing dud; a beenage toy... he was yansome and hung!



For obvious reasons, he doesn't do the following stories:
Midsummer Night's Dream (Puck the Fairy)
Robin Hood (Friar Tuck)
Treasure Island (Fighting Buckaneers... sounds like the Tyson/Holyfield fight... hehe)

Definitely worth the listen.
