I remember a story many years ago about a radio broadcat in England, where a novice young fellow was given the job of reporting on a parade in which Winston Churchill was to appear. (I have NOT been able to find an authoritative mention of this incident, so please correct me if I have it wrong)

anyway..., as I remember the story, the young broadcaster was terribly nervous, and had composed for himself a short sentence to say as soon as he saw Churchill's car appear. "Here comes the Prime Minister, he's beribboned and waving!"

well, the delays went on and he became more nervous and practiced over & over until by the time Churchill actually appeared, the fellow blurted, "here comes the Preem Mooster!...uh..the Prime Monster...uh...he's bourboned and weaving!"
