This one’s amazing: [From Hamlet by Shakespeare]
To be or not to be: that is the question, whether tis nobler in the mind to
suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
Becomes:
In one of the Bard’s best-thought-of tragedies, our insistent hero,
Hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten.
And the grand finale:
“That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” — Neil A. Armstrong
becomes:
A thin man ran; makes a large stride; left planet, pins flag on moon! On to Mars! 😳😳
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY, people, stay safe,

“The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making
ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, l
ight, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat. So people who don’t know what they’re doing,
or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of
coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self.”
—Joe Fox (Tom Hanks), You’ve Got Mail
“Good parenting means investing in your child’s future, which
is why I am saving to buy mine a hoverboard someday.”
—Lin-Manuel Miranda
“I love airports because the rules of society don’t apply. Eat a pizza
and have a glass of wine at 7 am while in track pants. Nobody cares.”
—Anonymous
“Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend.
Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.”
—Groucho Marx
“I’m one stomach flu away from my goal weight.”
—Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), The Devil Wears Prada
“My perfect beautiful miracle baby? Never slept. Ever. Never. Twelve
years later the memories of those nights, of that sleep deprivation,
still make me rock back and forth a little bit. You want to torture
someone? Hand them an adorable baby they love who doesn’t sleep.”
—Shonda Rimes
Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
The Committee for the Reduction of Redundancy and the Antiproliferation of
Repetition has decided not to meet until they have their first meeting
and thus will not be meeting until the first time.
Their Pre-meeting Statement wanted to make this clear before they had their
first meeting, so that it would not be confusing.
So their first meeting will actually be their first meeting and they will not
have a meeting before the first meeting.
This should avoid having people show up for their first meeting before it is held,
since to do so would be confusing to those who did so and this is what they
want to avoid by reducing the confusion and lessening the repetition. 😳😳😎

A spoonerism is a pair of words that can have their initial sounds switched to form new words. The pairs need only sound the same, not necessarily be spelled the same (power saw & sour paw, horse cart & coarse heart). There may sometimes be one or two connecting words (kick the stone & stick the cone, king of the rats & ring of the cats). Given the following definitions, what are the spoonerisms?

3) milk and cheese & fops who are imaginary beings with magical powers
4) fondle feathers & Amsterdam
