Is that the Cinderella and the Prandsome Hince one?  The Sugly Isters with their featy sweet and featy swannies?

First heard someone read that to me over 20 years ago, almost died laughing...

What's that got to do with dyslexia? It's only spoonerisms. ;)

Young Ones: "Interesting" episode.

Cinderella calls at the house, fit as owt. Mike answers the door.

Cinderella lisps: "I'm looking for my Printh"
Mike: "Well perhaps they're upstairs with my etchings darling."

Genius.

Hits BOTH of Eric Morecambe's sufficient conditions for humour.

1) Logic gone awry - the deliberate misinterpretation of "Prince" for "Prints"
2) A slipping of usual moral standards - a bloke deliberately twisting the innocent scene for carnal satisfaction.

I was skeptical when Morecambe said that all comedy, ALL comedy boils down to one or both of those two issues. But I have never since found anything that made me laugh that couldn't be put into one of those categories if you stop and think about it.

Please don't spell sceptical like an American Billy, that's twice now.
They are changing enough of our spellings.
Mind you it's a free country. ;)
