Sounds like it would be right up my alley, so to speak.
Dare to be different... and make a difference.
To boldly go where no one in their right mind has gone before...

Ethnologists out with the Sioux
Wired home for two punts, one canoe.
Came the cable next day:
Girls on the way,
But what the hell's a panoe?

Ooops!!!
Boxer shorts are cool,
but little speedos rule!

It's $13 US dollars per hour to sit in chairs, advertise how comfortable it is, and sell them. Best part is, you don't even have to get up unless you want to. They have motorized wheelchairs for you and everything.

Spoonerism: A verbal error in which a speaker accidentally transposes the initial sounds or letters of two or more words, often to humorous effect, as in the sentence you have hissed the mystery lectures, accidentally spoken instead of the intended sentence you have missed the history lectures.

These are named after the Oxford don and ordained minister William Spooner, who was famous for doing this.

Yes, at a banquet Reverend Spooner gave a toast to "the Dear Old Queen" (probably Queen Victoria) but when he spoke it came out as "The Queer Old Dean."

My favourite recent one,broadcast on the "Today" programme, (UK's flagship morning radio news & current affairs programme) was Jim Nauchtie's classic when Jeremy Hunt was the Culture Secretary. Priceless!! And appropriate - he is now the man responsible for destroying the National Health Service, who is scared to attend any public meeting in case junior doctors are present. Ooops! Do my prejudices show?
