These Spoonerisms, so called because of William Spooner's habit of mixing words up, are from an old record of which I retain some memory.
They are recorded errors from radio announcers of the pst...Long before Television:
'When the Queen alighted from the plane the Royal Fusileers fired a twenty-one sun galoot'.
Advertising bread: Get Tip Top Bread for the Breast in Bed.
Ending a kiddies program: "Is that it, are we off the air...Good, that'll do the little %#@&^ for today." Heard across the British ABC afternoon radio.
