I love the "coughing fit", as if he isn't bursting to laugh out loud!

Hilarious but spoonerisms often are.


I heard one once that was so bad (given the situation) I almost died laughing.

It was just before the start of the second year at Oxford (I was back early for a resit, another story). Christ Church was one of those colleges that by and large managed to accommodate most undergraduates on site.

Having gone through a lottery process, a lot of guys in the college were sharing suites in the Peckwater quadrangle. Each was typically an old fashioned study with separate bedrooms. Two physicist friends happened to be sharing, one the son of some fairly traditional Iranian parents, the other a regular boyo from the valleys, both sound guys :D

Anyway, parents of said Iranian chap were visiting and were keen to meet his friends so a whole bunch of us had turned up to say hi. His dad commented on the structure of the suite and asked how they managed to study if either of them wanted to relax or have friends round instead. So, the welsh guy replied, "Oh, it's OK, we have separate desks in our rooms"

Or at least, he thought he did. What he actually said was:

"Oh, it's OK, we have desperate sex in our rooms."

Well, there was a moment of silence that felt like an eternity as I fought the muscles in my face and tried to quell my shoulder heaving... Then the entire room just fell about laughing :lol:

Wasn't "packed full of cunning stunts" one of Kenny Everett's catchphrase lines as Cupid Stunt?

Amongst other funny words it censored, Skittyhorpe would come out as S****horpe.  True story.


It's actually a well-known problem for simple filters; in fact they are often referred to as a "Skittyhorpe" filters :D

Unfortunately they didn't quite get it, so we had to explain in a bit more depth - embarrassing.....


"What do you mean 'there's a c**t in Skittyhorpe' ? Nowhere's perfect. What I want to know is, why aren't they getting their mail?!"
