Good call. Spoonerising can get you into some serious trouble too!Kaszper wrote:Don't let punning ruin your life, Monkey.
I almost lost everything through excessive punning. And spoonerising.
Amazing fact: My "great uncle" (not his real title, but I've never been sure of his exact relationship to me other than he was on my mum's side) Dr. Flook was at the very symposium where Dr. William Spooner coined the first official spoonerisms.
Apparently they went on 'till the wee hours playing with it and it was a riot.
Dang, thanks for reminding me of them; I'd thought I'd finally put addictive spoonerising behind me.
I was a shocker, spewing forth many consecutine spoonerised sentences without a second thought.
It's one of those things where once you're in the zone, it's difficult to leave.
I suspect the brain becomes attached to the method's algorithm, as can be the case where Pig Latin is concerned.
G(r)ime to toe, K.
