With all due respect, Allen, I think spoonerisms are only funny if they result in real words that still make a distorted kind of sense. Thus, "You have hissed my mystery lectures" is amusing; "You have hooed my bistory lectures" would not be, because it is meaningless.
Perhaps I'll try to dig up a few of my own from the past. In the meantime, here's to "the queer old Dean!"
