Subject: RE: BS: Political (or other) Spoonerisms From: Grab Date: 09 Feb 01 - 06:27 AM There's a Two Ronnies sketch where Ronnie Barker is ordering a round of drinks. During each order, the barman tops up his glass, he downs it, and then goes through the order again. It gets progressively more and more twisted, and he eventually ends up with some outlandish order. As I remember, he ends up with something like "a chest for the woman with the Scotch dress, and a pair of rocks" - only it's much more than that. Be interested to see if I can find the script for that sketch anywhere online. Grab. |

Subject: RE: BS: Political (or other) Spoonerisms From: GUEST,JohnB Date: 13 Feb 01 - 12:42 PM A friend was working in the Travel section of a department store. He asked the rather attractive middle aged lady he was serving if she wanted a fooking borm. The best I ever heard though was Jasper Carrot doing the entire song Bastity Chelt (Castity Belt)as a Spoonerism. Some wonderful lines: Wourn or to meep ( mourn or to weep) The Celting old **** (The cunning old Celt) Necialized Spolledge (specialized knowledge) Hot down like a shart (shot down like a hart) Slackbith (blacksmith) He's wack from the Bors (back from the wars) Locked up forever, you work it out. You have to know the original song to get the best out of it though. JohnB I still do it occaisionaly after enough, not too much beer. |
