Dean Spooner once said to an undergrad "Now tell me was it you or your brother that was killed in the war?" He also liked a well boiled icicle.

I was just reminded of a local one...one of the 'ethnic' neighborhoods in Wash DC, is called Adams-Morgan..(why, I don't know)...but awhile back, someone opened a little restaurant/club there, and couldn't resist the temptation, so now we constantly hear radio spots advertising someone's band playing at "Madam's Organ"

This isn't exactly a Spoonerism, but a friend of mine who's an Episcopal priest was talking to a rather deaf older lady from her congregation when said lady announced loudly that she "just loved the smell of incest in church!" Heads turned all the way down the receiving line . . .

Dr Spooner is, of course, the reason that the collective noun for bankers is "Wunch"

Good Luck

In general I have found a politician to be a "shining w(h)it"
Quack!
