Spoonerisms II

I have so much fun with spoonerisms that I thought I would share some more of my creations with you. But unlike movies, I think the sequel is even better! In case, you don’t know what a spoonerism is, a spoonerism is an accidental or intentional play on words. It occurs when the beginning sounds of words are switched with each other to create new words with a humorous effect. 

For example:
