I got this today:

Sam ?,

I was looking on the Internet for information on my Family name, when I came across a web site http://www.ilxor.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=0077y9 that had "Takewell Bart" listed on it as one of the "Top 5 Product Spoonerisms".
Would you tell me what this means and what a "Spoonerism" is?

Thank you, Mike Takewell

Either I can go into laborious detail to explain the workings of Ptee's mind or I can suggest a quick appointment with the fucking dictionary. What do you think?

Point them at a dictionary. I wonder what the other 4 top product spoonerisms are?

Go here to reveal all.

Sam - if you do send a note explaining the way my mind works I would like a copy to give to my therapist. It would sure be cheaper.

four months pass...

Sam, I don't know why you have to be such an ass with you "fucking dictionary" remark. I asked a simple question that required a simple answer. You didn't have to burn up the last brain cell you have to answer my question. KMA

I don't think it necessarily required an answer at all, Mike. If that is your real name.

his real name's Bart. That would be so cool.

But why didn't you look in a dictionary, Mike? Surely it would have been quicker than emailing someone and getting them to type youe a definition?
