I don't know the author

"You (and your family) are on earth for a very special
purpose. Your responsibility is to find out your gifts,
strengths, and desires. Get rid of the disorganized
lifestyle that is holding you back. Then begin doing
what will fulfill your God given purpose on the earth."

Spoonerisms


The other day Rachael told me that one of her friends had been called to jury duty (which for some reason always seems a little bit funny). He is hoping of course NOT to be selected, as he is very busy with school and doesn't want to get behind. I said that one of the lawyers will probably exclude him if he appears 'cultra unservative'. Rachael, who frequently spoonerizes, didn't even notice until I laughed at myself.
Michael also gets his twords wisted. I wish I could remember all the funny things those two have had pop out of their mouths. One I do remember from Mike is him running upstairs asking me if I had a 60 lot wite bulb.
My problem with it gets worse when I am stressed or tired. My most extreme example was when I was 16, and was starting my first b-ball game as point guard. Our coach, Miss Messman, called me to the bench during the warm up and gave me instructions; I ran back to the floor and yelled at my team: "Mess Missman wants the (f)arting stive to shoot three frows!!" All three terms stuck in our basketball lingo. (To my dismay, may I add that I HATE that one word.)
I love this article about the original Spooner. http://www.lunaeterna.net/popcult/spooner.htm
