And then during a power failure I once cautioned my children that they
should not open the refrigerator door so often or the "spood will foil".
The fly didn't die immediately when I sprayed but it was "moutally wornded".

| Here is a tale that will make your cresh fleep. It will
give you poosegimples. It's a story about Cinderella, who
lived in a big hark douse with her mean old mepstother and
her two sisty uglers.
The mean old mepstother and the two sisty uglers made cinderella
do all the worty dirk while they sat around, cheating ocolates and
magging readazines. One day while Cinderella was in the kitchen
flopping the moor, the mean old mepstother came in and said,
"The Pransome Hince is throwing a drancy bess fall and we're
invited. But you can't go." So Cinderella went back into the
kitchen with ears in her teyes and was just about to chickasee
a fricken...when there was a linding blash of flight!
And before her stood a feautiful bairy.
"Who are you and what do you want?" asked Cinderella.
"Well, I'm your Mairy Fodgother and you may have anything
you want."
"May I go to the Ball?" asked Cinderella.
"You may, but you must be mome by hidnight."
And Cinderlla said, "OK", the Feautiful Bairy waved her
magic wand, and Cinderella was transformed into a bavishing
rooty! She was dressed in a long white gapin sown and had
a necklace of pubies and rearls. On her feet were two
tiny sass glippers.
So Cinderella went to the ball. There she met her mean
old mepstother and the two sisty uglers, but she was so
beautiful that they didn't even cinderize recognella!
And a gentleman approached Cinderella.
"Who are you and what do you want?" asked Cinderella.
"I'm the Pransome Hince, and may I dave this hance?"
And the Pransome Hince was just about to ask for her mare
in handage when the strock clarted to trike swelve. So
Cinderella ban from the rall, and when she ran down the
steps, one of the sass glippers flipped from her soot!
And the Pransome Hince picked up the tiny sass glipper
and thought, "If I can find the one whose soot this flipper
sits then I'll know whom I've lallen in fove."
And the next day he went from house to house (and you can't
spoonerize that). When he came to the sin where houseterella
lived he docked on the knoor. The mean old mepstother came
out and said, "Who are you and what do you want?" And the
Pransome Hince said, "I am searching for the one whose soot
this flipper sits so I'll know whom I've lallen in fove."
And the mean old mepstother tried on the tiny sass glipper
but her beet were too fig. Then Cinderella tried it on,
the glipper pitted serfectly, they were married, and happed
lively ever after.
and the moral of our story is:
Some of our smubbles are trall,
And some of our bubbles are trig,
But if our trife had no lubbles,
How would we bleckognize our ressings?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some history for the interested:
This little talk won the 'Midnight Magic with DECTalk
competition at a DECUS Symposium a few years ago
(remember, Martin Minow? You gave me an inflatable frog
as a prize!)
The original was on a little known comedy record which
came out in the early 60's. During an exceptionally boring
lecture in graduate school I reconstructed this talk in
the margins of my notebook.
Some of the syllable transpositions are not exact, but
the sounds they generate are. For example:
'Trife had no lubbles' for 'Life had no troubles'
indicates the sounds better than 'Trife had no loubles'
Feel free to try it on DECTalk - it does a decent job
with it.

| My favorite from Spooner was a toast he proposed to "...our queer old
dean."
My wife's college roommate had her moments, too. She was the one who
saved money on required texts by buying 'boozed yooks'. She also gave
up making her bed one day because she got tired of trying to straighten
out her shitted feets.
