The funny thing is that the guy who wrote this page doesn't know that Reverand William Archibald Spooner is a real man who always "wipped his flords," as a comedy group called The Capitol Steps would put it. Some noteable instances include one time when he saw a group of farmers and wished to say, "I see before me sons of toil," but it came out, "I see before be tons of soil." The latter was also accurate, but it lacked the effect he wanted. Another instance was when a woman in his church was sitting in the wrong place, as some seats were assigned. He went up to her and said, "Mardon me, Padam, you are occupewing the wrong py. Please let me sow you to your sheat." From this display, I extrapolate that perhaps being around the opposite sex made him even more tongue-tied than usual.
