WELCOME to TUESDAY MAY 12th, 2026
Here’s The Story…..
A child asked his father, “How were people born?” So his father said, “Adam and Eve
made babies, then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on.” The child
then went to his mother, asked her the same question and she told him, “We were
monkeys then we evolved to become like we are now.” The child ran back to his father
and said, “You lied to me!” His father replied, “No, your mom was talking about her side of the family.”
That’s my story and if you can understand it, I’m sticking to it! Have a HAPPY TUESDAY ‘people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁
Spoonerisms
(Un)fortunately, Spooner’s scholarly work has not passed the test of time. Rather, he is remembered for a peculiar speech error he was wont to make: the transposition of the initial letters (sounds) of adjoining words, often with humorous results. It is to this type of speech error (slip of the tongue) that Dr. Spooner lent his name: the spoonerism. Here is a selection, beginning with those attributed to Dr. Spooner himself. (If you know more, please share them with us through our contact page.)
Dr. Spooner’s Originals
Once Dr. Spooner raised a toast to Her Royal Highness, Queen Victoria, and proclaimed: “Three cheers for our queer old dean!”
During World War I he reassured his students, “When our boys come home from France, we will have the hags flung out.”
On another occasion, he lionized Britain’s farmers as “ye noble tons of soil.”
We learn of these speech errors from the notes of his students, which they generously shared by publishing them. They probably made most if not all of them up themselves. This one was probably a compilation of several others. Dr. Spooner is supposed to have chastised one of his students thus: “You have hissed all the mystery lectures, I saw you fight that liar behind the gymnasium, and, in short, you have tasted the whole worm.”
He is reported to have made a double screw-up upon once dropping his hat then asking: “Will nobody pat my hiccup?”
He reportedly ended a wedding he was performing with: “It is now kisstomary to cuss the bride.”
Paying a visit to the college dean (before he took over that position himself), he supposedly queried: “Is the bean dizzy?”
He replaced “crushing blow” with “blushing crow” in one lecture.
He once referred to a well-oiled bicycle as “a well-boiled icicle.”
“I have in my bosom a half-warmed fish” (for half-formed wish) is not beyond the pale of actual possibility.
Once upon entering church, Spooner exclaimed, “Good grief! Someone is occu-pewing my pie!”

Tuesday’s Quizzler is….😎😎
You are stuck in a room. All that is there is a slip of paper on a table, and many bottles. The only exit is guarded by a heat sensor that will not let you out. The only way out is to drink one of the bottles’ contents, and the liquid will cool down your body heat (with no harm to yourself) enough so that the heat sensor doesn’t detect you anymore. There are nine bottles on the ground beyond the table. The content of the slip of paper will tell you what each of the bottles are. Find out what all the bottles are, and then find out which one to drink to get out.
Three of me are poison, and will kill you if you drink.
Two of me are water, nothing bad will happen with these.
Two of me are wine, and it will only get you drunk.
One will heat you up forever, and this room will never let you out. (hinder)
Only one here will help you, it will cool down your body heat.
No medium bottles are poison.
Wine is bad in large doses, so none are large.
Each of the end bottles have the same contents.
No matter how help hides, it will be on poison’s left side, but its left side is safe.
No two small bottles are the same.
The hinderer is harder, for it resides between wine and water.
The hinder bottle is large, so it works forever.
Neither big nor medium will save your life.
Poison is all you will get from the bottle on the far right.
Water is next to the helper.
Bottle Order:
Large–Small–Large–Medium–Small–Large–Medium–Large–Small
