Thread Name: BS: Friar Tuck
Subject: RE: BS: Friar Tuck
I once did a poem in a folk club based on Sponnerisms
after a pre-amble explaining that Friar Tuck was a spoonerism and pausing just long enough to say
"I see you are all ahead of me ----- yes - as you spotted it is Fire Truck"
as I was into the next spoonerism a chuckle came too early, and a man explained he was still explaining the Friar Tuck joke to his wife - that got a better laugh.
